Former WBC champion Deontay Wilder alluded to the Batman comic while saying how people felt following Tyson Fury’s poor welcome of boxing debutant, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Instead of beating the new guy around the ring as was expected by the greater number of people, Tyson Fury managed to win by split decision after being knocked down in the third round of the bout titled ‘The Battle of the Baddest’.

While the British champion recovers from the wounds on his body, especially the face, and is preparing to face the unified heavyweight champion next year in Saudi Arabia, there are doubts that he is not yet fit for retirement.

Dethroned WBC champion Deontay Wilder commented on the Fury-Ngannou match recently while speaking as if he would have given Ngannou a better welcome.

‘I didn’t even get to watch the fight, but of course I had a lot of texts and people calling me about it,’ Wilder recalled. ‘Especially when he got dropped.

‘After the fight a lot of people figuring out what was going on – ‘maybe he did cheat, maybe he did have something in his gloves.’ All those things coming up now. ‘He didn’t look himself, what happened? He lost.’ Everyone saying he lost, that’s all I got.

‘People are saying Deontay we need you back, how boring boxing is and the heavyweight division is crumbling. They’re putting the Bat Signal out. I tell people I’m coming.’

Was Deontay Wilder speaking from pride or innocent assumption?

The bout expected to happen between Anthony Joshua and Wilder is under the forces of delay from lack of a location for the contest and other things. Wilder’s restlessness was captured in his recent statement as in another he gave in the past.

‘I just don’t know what’s up with Joshua bro,’ Wilder began recently. ‘Maybe I’m gonna have to call him or something, I’m gonna have to England, sit down with him on some real man s**t.

‘Now we’re in this situation, and what do we do about it? Joshua, me and you is the biggest fight in the world, bro. What are you doing? How many people are you listening to? I really want to talk to the dude. I cannot hear that he needs more time.’

Though both men are looking for a match with Francis Ngannou, the Cameroonian made it clear that he was not signing up for another boxing match until he faces Tyson Fury once more.
