Deontay Wilder needs to “grow up” and stop feeling sorry for himself after suffering a brutal defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury back in February.
That’s the damning verdict of former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who has urged his fellow American not to feel “sad or discouraged”.
Fury dethroned Wilder in stunning fashion on February 22, knocking the Bronze Bomber down twice before his trainer Mark Breland made a justified call to throw in the towel during round seven.
After losing his WBC heavyweight crown, and suffering his first professional defeat, Wilder publicly condemned Breland for “not letting me go out on my shield”.
