“He was rubbing the ropes with his back.” Peter Fury criticizes Wilder over Parker fight

British trainer Peter Fury said he did not understand the strategy of the former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in a battle against Joseph Parker.

“Wilder circled round after round, constantly rubbing his back against the ropes. What kind of fight is this? He didn’t want to enter into exchanges at all. His team knows the answers that I don’t know, looking at this fight. They know what their tactics were and what kind of battle it was.

Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth - every round was the same crap. Wilder did not realize that he had lost the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth rounds. What the hell was going on there? Wilder used angles. What the hell were you doing? Yes, he lost every round and didn’t fight. What is this? How did he do this? I have no answers. But when I look at it, Wilder didn’t do anything,” Fury said in an interview with YouTube channel iFL TV.

Let us remember that on December 23, Wilder lost to Parker by unanimous decision at a boxing evening in Riyadh.
