American Heavyweight boxer, Deontay Wilder, has finally broken his silence after losing to Tyson Fury during their WBC heavyweight title trilogy bout in Las Vegas last Saturday.
The Bronze Bomber posted a message on his verified Instagram page, stating that although he is unhappy over the loss, he learnt some lessons from the defeat.
The 35-year-old Alabama born was brutally knocked down in the 11th round by Fury and also snubbed the Brit who wanted to embrace him in the spirit of sportsmanship.
In his recent post, however, Wilder congratulated Fury for the victory and thanked him for ‘the great historical memories they made.’
The former WBC Heavyweight champion post reads, “Wow, what a hell of a night! I would like to first and foremost thank God for allowing me to give the world another part of me that’s driven with passion and determination. 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.
“We didn’t get the win but a wise man once said the victories are within the lessons. I’ve learned that sometimes you have to lose to win. Although, I wanted the win I enjoyed seeing the fans win even more. Hopefully, I proved that I am a true Warrior and a true King in this sport. 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. Last but not least I would like to congratulate @gypsyking101 for his victory and thank you for the great historical memories that will last forever. #BomZquad #TilThisDay.”
