TEOFIMO LOPEZ has told Deontay Wilder to ‘stop being a bitch’ after making several wild excuses following his loss to Tyson Fury.
Wilder’s reputation has been left in tatters after giving a string of bizarre reasons why he was beaten last February instead of accepting defeat.
And 23-year-old Lopez – who Fury successfully backed to upset Vasiliy Lomachemko – slammed the ex-heavyweight champion for his delusion.
He told SiriusXM: “I think Wilder has had too much time on his hands.
“He needs to focus on his own damn self, go back to the gym, get ready for a fight.
“Stop talking about a dent in your head. You’re a grown-ass man, stop being a bitch.”
Immediately after Fury stopped Wilder in round seven, the Bronze Bomber blamed the result on the 45lb costume he wore on his ring walk.
It was then revealed that the 35-year-old needed bicep surgery following an injury.
Fury was also forced to deny ‘bulls***’ claims made by Wilder’s brother Marsellos, who accused the Gypsy King of having a ‘blunt object’ in his gloves.
Then, as Wilder recently broke a long period of silence following his first ever loss, he himself came up with the same elaborate theory.
He accused Fury of ‘cheating’ by having ‘something hard’ in his glove.
That is despite a member of his team and the athletic commission observing Fury having his hands wrapped and gloves fitted before both fights.
Wilder followed it up by later claiming his ‘water was spiked’ which left him with ‘no control’ over his body.
The litany of excuses and accusations were all made with absolutely no evidence provided.
As a result, Fury, 32, told talkSPORT that Wilder has ‘lost his marbles’.
He continued: “First of all it was the suit, then it was the bicep injury, then his trainer was on our team, then the referee was against him, then I had weights in my gloves…
“Now someone has spiked his water…
“It’s one of those things, isn’t it.”
