Deontay Wilder plans to sack coach who threw in the towel against Fury

Natasha Hooper - February 25, 2020

Deontay Wilder is going to make his coach pay for throwing the towel in during his Tyson Fury rematch, by sacking him. “The Bronze Bomber” faced “The Gypsy King” in their eagerly-anticipated rematch on Saturday February 22nd. Fury maintained constant pressure to disarm the punching power of his opponent. Wilder was knocked down twice before being cornered in the seventh round. The British boxer began to unload on Wilder, and the American was able to offer little retaliation. To prevent Deontay Wilder from enduring any more damage, coach Mark Breland threw the towel in the seventh round and the referee called an end to the action. ‘The Gypsy King’ thus claimed the TKO victory.
