Team Fury release video of Wilder coach watching his hands getting wrapped to quash glove tampering claim

Tyson Fury's team have released a clip of the Brit's hands getting wrapped ahead of his world title fight against Deontay Wilder in February.

Fury says the footage proves there is no foundation to claims from Team Wilder that he had a blunt object hidden in his gloves when he brutally ended Wilder's five-year reign as WBC heavyweight world champion, flooring the American in rounds three and five.

Wilder's brother, Marsellos, alleged last week that “no glove or fist" could do the damage caused in the world title defeat after doctors "discovered a dent in the side of [Deontay's head".

But a furious Fury has dismissed the claims as "bull****" - and has now taken steps to prove it. In the video provided by Team Fury and uploaded to BT Sport's YouTube channel, members of Wilder's team, including head trainer Jay Deas, are present as the Gypsy King has his hands wrapped.

At the end of the footage captured inside the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Fury says: “This is just a quick video to address all this foul play talk from Wilder and his team.

“I’ve just read an article before saying that I might've had some blunt objects in my gloves, yeah, two big 19 stone 7, 275lbs destroyers in each glove.

“So yeah, getting punched up the temple may do that to ya.

“Not unless Wilder’s one trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well, along with the Las Vegas State Commission guys who never left the room.

“Jay Deas was in the room when I had my hands wrapped, he examined them, he was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them and everyone else was in the room.

“They don’t leave you, we all know this. So everybody citing foul play, BULL****!

“And the next time, I’ll put a dent in his boxing career, end it, because it’ll be two knock-out losses in a row, bye bye forever.”
