Shelly Finkel: Wilder doesn't want to talk to Fury, he wants to fight him

Andrew Karlov June 28, 2021, 2:17 a.m.

Shelly Finkel told Sports Illustrated that he was not surprised by the behavior of Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), who refused to answer media questions during a press conference announcing his third fight with Tyson Fury (30-0-1 , 21 KOs).

“Deontay just didn't want to engage in conversation with Fury at the press conference. All he thinks about now is a duel with Fury. He told me: “If Fury wants to talk, let him talk. I just want to fight,” explained the Bronze Bomber's manager.

“When I look at him now, I can see that he is focused on this duel. He trains the way I would like him to train earlier," Finkel added. "We thought that this fight would take place a few months earlier, but there was an arbitration dispute. All this time, Wilder has been training."
