Tyson Fury trolls Deontay Wilder on social media
Social media is the fastest way to get anything across to the fans or even to other fighters. If you want to spread something like wildfire, simply post it on any social media platform and watch it take on a life of its own. It is also a place where trolling is very common, and there is arguably nobody that has this down to a science like WBC heavyweight champion Tyson “Gypsy King” Fury (30-0-1, 21ko). When the WBC champion has time on his hands, he takes to social media as a kid at the playground.
THE BACKSTORY
Initially, the the trilogy with former champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (42-1-1, 41ko) was on schedule for July 18. However, the current pandemic pushed things back. Furthermore, legendary Top Rank promoter Bob Arum came out with optimism of the fight happening in 2020. Although, it could possibly take place outside of the U.S and U.K to maximize revenue in a location with spectators.
Arum would later reveal agreed-upon plans by both FOX and ESPN of holding the fight at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the new home for the Raiders football team, hopefully with fans. The targeted date is said to be December 19, providing things go smoothly without any further complications.
TROLLING THE BRONZE BOMBER
Team Wilder has made it clear they are all in for the rematch. However, with no word from the former champion or anyone associated with the camp, the boxing community is questioning the mental state of the former champion.
Here is where Fury thrives and is at his best, especially when he’s motivated. Taking to social media to add some gas to the fire, the WBC champion posted a picture of him standing observing “The Bronze Bomber” falling to the canvas asking to know what’s going on with the fight because he has other plans.
