Deontay Wilder has come up with yet another bizarre excuse for his defeat by Tyson Fury in their heavyweight rematch.
Glove tampering was one of the first conspiracy theories coming out of Fury's seventh-round stoppage of the Bronze Bomber. But Wilder's new proof that all was not right is an original one: that there were fingernail marks inside his ear.
“I haven’t yet heard valid proof of how gloves flap all the way back, why your hands were in the middle of the glove, why did my ear have scratches deep inside my ear? Because of your (Fury’s) nails,” Wilder (42-1-1, 41KOs) told Brian Custer on The Last Stand PodCast. “It’s so many different facts and proof that we have. But it just shows the greatness of it."
