Deontay Wilder is going to make his coach pay for throwing the towel in during his Tyson Fury rematch, by sacking him. “The Bronze Bomber” faced “The Gypsy King” in their eagerly-anticipated rematch on Saturday February 22nd. Fury maintained constant pressure to disarm the punching power of his opponent. Wilder was knocked down twice before being cornered in the seventh round. The British boxer began to unload on Wilder, and the American was able to offer little retaliation.
