DEONTAY WILDER believes Tyson Fury cheated to win their last fight and that he has a master plan to cheat again.
Wilder was defeated by Fury in a convincing February 2020 rematch. The pair will meet again next Saturday, possibly for the last time.
Wilder accused Fury, of cheating in their second bout
Wilder, after more than half a decade of silence regarding the defeat to Fury's victory, spoke out and accused the Briton of cheating.
Wilder accused Fury, of manipulating his gloves to place his fist in an incorrect position.
Fury may have put a hard object in his gloves to do more damage for each punch, he believes.
Next, he claimed that his water had been spiked by Mark Breland, his co-trainer.
He then blamed fatigue for the excess weight of his ringwalk costume.
After Breland threw in his towel to end the fight, the American accused Breland of disloyalty and fired him.

He said to 78SPORTSTV, "You think he ain’t gonna cheat this time?"
"Oh, they're thinking. They're coming up a master plan.
"But his thing to me - man! You couldn't even get my out on loaded gloves and the conditions that I was in.
"You couldn't knock me out, you didn't knock me out."
John Fury, Fury's father, responded to such unfounded allegations of cheating.
John suggested Wilder take a page from former Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, who was gracious in defeat to Oleksandr Uzyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
John admires the humility of Brit who lost his WBA and IBF heavyweight world titles.
He replied, "I was asked about Wilder being similar to AJ.
"You couldn't compare the two men. AJ was able to keep his dignity even in defeat. He knows the truth and is determined to make it right.
"The other one is in complete denial and has been talking absolutely rubbish for the past two years.
"He still talks rubbish, and that's what keeps me off of him as a fighter. That's why I believe he cannot improve his mentality.
Tyson will know when it's time to fight and when it's time to box, and Wilder doesn’t have the intelligence to deal with that at any level. It's not that I'm knocking him, it's just his character that he has shown me in defeat.
"How can you learn from defeat when you keep going like that?"
"The American people love Tyson, and I love them both. But I like men between men. I prefer men to be men.
"I don’t want them to behave like spoilt kids in defeat. I admire men who can defeat with dignity.
"Take a look at Manny Pacquiao. He didn't do that. He blamed his costume, blamed his team, defaming professional people, and slandering world champions. It's defamation and not allowed.
"Like I stated before, I would have taken him to court. He would not have won a second fight, but that's politics. I have no control over that.
