Moments after the stunning stoppage, Fury went over to Wilder’s corner to give him props for his herculean effort.

But despite their epic back-and-forth, the WBC champ was met with animosity from his rival.

Shortly after seeing Fury come over, a battered and bruised Wilder repeatedly said: “No love.

An irate Fury replied: “Never mind love, there’s respect.

“You got beat fair and square tonight. That’s it. I respect you because I’m a man.”

Former WBC champ Wilder then said: “I won’t respect you, I won’t respect you. I will never respect you.”

Before he was ushered away from Wilder’s corner, Fury then said: “Don’t show bad sport[manship], you lost fair and square.”

Former unified heavyweight champion Fury then turned his attention to Wilder’s co-manager, Shelly Finkel.

The Wythenshawe warrior told the American lawyer: “Listen, I never cheated in my whole life. I played fair and square.

“He’s got a bad hatred towards me, I don’t know why.

“But let me tell you, he lost like a man tonight. He put me down three times, I had to put him down four. “

Fury, 33, slammed Wilder for his lack of sportsmanship in the post-fight press conference, saying: “An idiot.

But the Bronze Bomber refused to give Fury his dues

“He’s got no love for me Deontay Wilder, because I’ve beat him three times.

“I’m a sportsman, I went over to him to show some love and respect and he didn’t want to give it back.

“That’s his problem, I’ll pray for him so God will soften his heart.

“I want to thank everyone in the building tonight who came out to show support for my sport, boxing. Thank you.

“It was a great fight, October 9th 2021 will go down as a great fight in history. I hope anyway.

“Like the great John Wayne said ‘I’m made of pig iron and steel baby.’

“First of all, I’d like to say thank you to my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus I won this fight tonight.

“I give him the glory he gives me the victory.

“I was down a couple of times, I was hurt.

“Wilder is a strong puncher and he’s a tough man. I was hitting him with some tough shots.

Fury was disappointed by Wilder’s actions after their epic heavyweight war

“It was a great fight tonight, worthy of any trilogy in the history of our sport.

“I’m not going to make any excuses, Wilder is a tough fighter who gave me a real run for my money tonight.

“I always said ‘I’m the best in the world and he’s the second-best.”
