Tyson Fury sends brutal Deontay Wilder jibe as Dillian Whyte signs fight contract

Tyson Fury took time out of his training camp with Dillian Whyte to send former opponent Deontay Wilder a brutal reminder of their second fight.

The rematch between Fury and Wilder took place two years ago today after a controversial first bout which many believed Fury should have been declared the winner of on points.

In the second fight though, the Gypsy King left no doubt as to his ability. Fury came into the fight which heavier than he had in the first fight - openly stating that he was going for the knockout.

Fury dominated from the off, dropping Wilder three times in the third round, before doing so once again in the fifth.

After taking significant punishment in the sixth, Wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round - with Fury winning via TKO.

A trilogy fight happened 18 months later with Fury securing victory via knockout in the 11th round with a huge overhand right.

Many fought the rivalry would end after the trilogy bout last October but Wilder refused to shake Fury's hand - and has continued to label the Brit a 'cheater'.

On Tuesday's fight anniversary, Fury sent Wilder a savage reminder of what he did to him when they met in their second fight.

Posting on Instagram, Fury said: "Happy anniversary to me - its been two years since I busted Deontay, the big old dosser, excuse maker, Wilder. Hahahaha sucker!"

It comes after it was confirmed that Fury's next opponent will be Dillian Whyte.

Whyte waited until the final hours of the deadline before submitting his contract with the WBC for the heavyweight title fight before the 6am cut-off on Tuesday.

They will face each other on April 23rd at Wembley Stadium.
