WBC champion Deontay Wilder is currently preparing for his next fight scheduled on December 1 against Tyson Fury in Los Angeles.

Generally, boxers would be fully focused on their upcoming contest and won’t be entertaining any distractions in the process.

But, that ain’t Deontay Wilder!

The American ace has responded to Dillian Whyte, who recently made a sensational claim regarding Wilder and his tactics of avoiding a potential fight with the Brit.

Whyte successfully defended his WBC [Silver] heavyweight title against Joseph Parker in late July this year and has been considering his options since.

With Luis Ortiz and Wilder being possible opponents, Whyte, in an interview with streaming platform DAZN, revealed what transpired during the conversation he had with Wilder via private message.

Initially disclosing that the Bronze Bomber is not at all willing to come to terms regarding the deal, Whyte decided to show the text sent by Wilder which proved he would be keeping Whyte waiting for a long period.

The message read: “Tell your promoters to give me what I want as well then we can get it on easy.

“I have no problems in fighting you as well as making money but Eddie [Hearn] is a liar.

“I’m sure you know this, I can tell by the way you look at him. They’re bad vibes, but he’s not running the show over here.

“But if I have to prove that then I will bro, because honestly I don’t have to do anything for at least two years. Get at him.”

Now, in an exclusive interview with iFL TV, Wilder didn’t hold back on his thoughts when told to comment on the Londoner boxer.

Asked if he ever was interested in fighting Whyte, the 32-year-old replied that he definitely would, but urged the Brit to fight Ortiz, then, he’d get the chance to turn up on the opposite corner of the ring against him automatically.

Wilder later asserted that Whyte was unwilling to do that and instead went on camera to show the messages.

“You [Whyte] look dumb! You look real dumb,” said Wilder.

Only time will tell what the future holds, but as things stand, the heavyweight division is surely turning out to be the most competitive in recent history.
