TYSON FURY has joked he will ‘cheat again’ with ‘horseshoes in his gloves’ in his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder.
The American accused the new WBC champ of having ‘loaded gloves’ days after he was battered into submission by the Gypsy King in their second bout.
Team Fury and promoter Frank Warren laughed off the accusations, unanimous in their opinion that Wilder was acting like a sore loser.
The American gave a whole host of excuses as to why he had lost – one was that his ring-walk outfit was ‘too heavy’ and another was a ludicrous accusation that his coach Mark Breland had ‘spiked his water’, something the well-respected Breland strenuously denies.
Now Fury has joked that he will use ‘Peaky Blinders’ style tactics and load his gloves with ‘horseshoes and dynamite’.
Speaking to MMA Hour after Wilder’s latest accusations, the 33-year-old said: “Do you know what, I’m gonna cheat again because I’m gonna smash his face in.
“So, according to him that’s cheating because he’s not supposed to lose. But unfortunately I’m going to cheat again.”

Then asked about whether he had ‘weights in his gloves’, Fury responded sarcastically: “Yeah I did. I had horseshoes in there, you know I’m a gypsy don’t you?
“You ever watched Peaky Blinders? I loaded the gloves with horseshoes and dynamite.
“This time I’m going to do exactly the same but I’m going to put a bit more metal in there.
“With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff, I’ve cheated, I’ve done this, I’m a natural born cheater, his coach – I must have some power mustn’t I because I’ve even got his coach on my side!
“And not to mention [trainer] Jay Deas, he’s on my payroll too.
“I’m like Tommy Shelby here, I’ve got them all on the payroll. He’s on the payroll too, Jay Deas, because he was in the changing room while I was getting my gloves on the whole time.
“So he must have helped me and Wilder’s in denial about that. But let me just put that out there as well.”
Shelby – played by Irish actor Cillian Murphy – was one of the main characters of the hit British period crime drama Peaky Blinders and the leader of the Birmingham criminal gang.
Fury, who says Wilder ‘probably won two out of the 19 rounds they boxed’, thinks the Bronze Bomber is just looking for ‘reasons why he can’t win’.
The Brit believes his American opponent is convincing himself that there was some wrongdoing in the second bout, as that will make him ‘think in his own mind he has a better chance’.
Wilder is in the final stages of his preparation for his trilogy scrap against the Gypsy King this weekend in Las Vegas.
But just days before, the Alabama banger once again threw shade at Fury and his team.
Speaking to PBC, Wilder said: “All I gotta do is half of that. He ain’t good, all I gotta do is half of that. He ain’t what people think. He a f***ing cheater.
“I feel great. I have a great team, everybody’s just on one accord. And when you have a team that’s on one accord it’s like the instructions come even clearer.
“My hand will be raised high in the sky, and not because I whooped his ass in 12 rounds, but because I knocked him out.”
