Fury’s birthday message to Wilder

The Gypsy King in a classy tweet yesterday on Twitter appears to put their differences aside to wish his old mate a happy birthday.

Fury said: “Hey this is Tyson Fury, aka the Gypsy King. This is a very special happy birthday message to my old mate Deontay ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder.

“Have a fantastic day, Wilder. Thank you for the great fights we had, the trilogy. Great fighter, awesome fighter.

“I hope you have a fantastic day with you and your family and hope God blesses you abundantly.

“All the best, lots of love, from your old pal the Gypsy King. All the best, God bless Wilder.”

In the immediate aftermath of that third clash, the American said he ‘did not respect’ the WBC heavyweight champion. The Gypsy King responded by calling Wilder a ‘sore loser and an idiot’.

Wilder said: “Wow, what a hell of a night!” Wilder said. “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.

“I’ve learned that sometimes you have to lose to win. Although, I wanted the win I enjoyed seeing the fans win even more.

“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.

“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.”
