Deontay Wilder sends an emotional message to his fans

Tyson Fury defeated former champion Deontay Wilder by knockout in 11 rounds last Saturday to retain the World Boxing Council heavyweight crown at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And with this result, Fury achieved his second victory, and a draw, in this Thrilling trilogy in the heavyweight division.

Deontay Wilder has issued a statement on social networks, recognizing the “Gypsy King.”

“Wow, what a hell of a night! I would like to first and foremost thank God for allowing me to give the world another part of me that’s driven with passion and determination.

I would like to thank my team and my fans for sticking by my side through this long process. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t disappointed in the outcome but after reflecting on my journey, I now see that what God wanted me to experience is far greater than what I expected to happen.

“We didn’t get the win but a wise man once said the victories are within the lessons. I’ve learned that sometimes you have to lose to win. Although, I wanted the win I enjoyed seeing the fans win even more. Hopefully, I proved that I am a true Warrior and a true King in this sport.

“Hopefully, WE proved that no matter how hard you get hit with trials and tribulations you can always pick yourself up to live and fight again for what you believe in. Last but not least I would like to congratulate Tyson Fury for his victory and thank you for the great historical memories that will last forever ,” Wilder concluded.

In Saturday’s spectacular bout, Fury knocked Wilder to the canvas in the third round, but Wilder rallied magnificently to knock the Briton down twice in the fourth.

Fury dropped Wilder again in the 10th, and then the eleventh round knockout, with a powerful right hand that sent Wilder to the canvas.
