Telli Swift who is Deontay Wilder’s partner, has taken to her social media to share a lovely message to the former WBC world heavyweight boxing champion, celebrating him even in his defeat.
The famous Atlanta WAG, Telli Swift taking to her Instagram account to share her thoughts about the heavy defeat her husband suffered, said:
“Deontay you are and will always be a King with the tenacious heart of a warrior who has elevated the Heavyweight division back to its glory days in the US, you’ve never backed down and never will from any opponent and I am confident you will fulfill all of your dreams! And the journey continues with the same end goal,
“One face one name one champ,” she said.
Adding further, Telli Swift continued by saying:
“Deontay you showed us what Strength, Passion, and Courage looks like. You showed the world what it takes to Be A Champion. Most people have no idea just how hard you train, the blood, sweat, and tears you put into this sport for other people’s entertainment. To me and to so many that know and love you, you’re still and forever will be the champ! You’re the people’s champ and we all know you what you do for our culture”.
“One moment in time does not define your legacy, your legacy is created throughout time and we will continue to do just that. A bump in the road doesn’t stop you from reaching your desired destination!
I love you, the kids love you, and you are loved by so many. Continue to give god the glory so we can get back our belt! @bronzebomber#WilderFury3 here we come!! #thesagacontinues #stillourchamp#bombzquad,” she added.
Deontay Wilder was on Saturday night in Las Vegas pummelled by the self-styled “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury who produced a boxing masterclass to reign again as a world heavyweight champion with a seventh round stoppage.
The technical knockout by Fury came 14-months after their epic split-decision draw, the British boxer wrested the World Boxing Council (WBC) version of the title from Wilder with a dominant performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, flooring his opponent in the third and fifth rounds before the US fighter’s corner threw in the towel to spare their man further punishment.
The fight was a great fight, as Fury said and did everything he promised millions of boxing fans around the world that he was going to do. Even Telli Swift from her write up, can tell her husband to be was outboxed by the British Boxer, Tyson Fury.
The two boxers have already agreed to a third fight, but no date has been fixed, as Anthony Joshua waits for a possible unification battle with either of Fury or Wilder after their third fight.
“The king has returned to the top of the throne,” said Fury, who remains unbeaten after 31 bouts.
Wilder, making his 11th defense of the WBC crown, was suffering his first defeat in 44 fights, falling to 42-1 with one drawn.
While not quite living up to his pre-fight prediction of a second round knock out, Fury had been on top from the opening bell, landing heavy blows with little coming in return from a well-beaten Wilder.
Only the defeated champion’s bravery enabled him to extend the contest to the seventh, with Fury paying tribute to his courage.
“I just want to say a big shout out Deontay Wilder,” he said. “He manned up, he really did show heart of a champion.
“I hit him with a clean right hand and dropped him, and he got back up and battled on into round seven.
“He is a warrior, he will be back, he will be champion again.”
While Deontay is still receiving treatment of his injury, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, is looking to block the possibility of a third bout as he prepares Joshua to face Fury.
The world is waiting to see the fights these promoters give us, as the heavyweight division has come to life once more.
