What has been said so far?
Fury has claimed he tricked his opponent into putting his WBC belt on the line and believes he has no chance of defending it.
“I told Frank [Warren] this was the fight I wanted above all others. No more bums. So I asked him to tell Wilder’s team that he would be fighting a big fat English idiot who had only come back for the money.
“They’ve bitten off more than they can chew. I tricked them into it but they still don’t know what they’ve let themselves in for.”
The duo's trash talking, though, stretches all the way back to 2012 when they began taking pot shots at each other on Twitter.
