Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder: Brit unimpressed with WBC world champion's undefeated record

The WBC heavyweight champion of the world has a flawless 40-0 professional record with 39 knockouts – but Fury has insisted the majority of the American’s CV can be disregarded

Tyson Fury isn’t very impressed with Deontay Wilder’s ring resume.

The WBC heavyweight champion of the world has a flawless 40-0 professional record with 39 knockouts – but Fury has insisted the majority of the American’s CV can be disregarded.

Fury challenges for Wilder’s world title in Los Angeles on December 1.

When asked about his opponent's record, he told BT Sport: “His last six fights are the only fights that really count.

“[Bermane] Stiverne, a small heavyweight who was old and finished. Johann Duhaupas, a Frenchman that has no ability but tries hard. Wilder didn’t hurt him once in the fight.

“Eric Molina, a school teacher who got lucky - took him nine rounds to get rid of him. Artur Szpilka, who’s lost all his fights by knockout even up until today; a bit of movement and he gave him problems.

“Gerald Washington, a football player with a bit of a jab; he gave him problems for five rounds until he landed - not a boxer though.

“Then there was [Luis] Ortiz who forgetting his age, was a good man, but we know father time catches up with everybody.”

Like Wilder, Fury has an unblemished professional record, stopping both Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta after making his return to the sport.
