Deontey Wilder has promised to come back and regain his world heavyweight title like a phoenix from the ashes .
In an Instagram post, the destructive heavyweight puncher who lost his WBC title to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas vowed to reclaim his belts through a trilogy guaranteed in a rematch. Wilder was bullied by Tyson Fury in Las Vegas after being floored twice before a representative of his team concluded he was taken too much punishment to be allowed to continue.
He said:
”Hello my people, my bomb squad army, my Bomb Squad nation, to all my loved ones around the world, I just want to let you know I am here,’ Wilder said to his fans in a video on Instagram.
‘Your king is here. And we ain’t going nowhere, for the war has just begun. ‘I will rise again. I am strong. I am a king, you can’t take my pride. ‘I am a warrior. I am a king that will never give up. I’m a king that will fight to the death. ‘And if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war, don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the title.
‘I will be back. We will hold our heads up high. Your king is in great spirit. ‘We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and regain the title. ‘I’ll see you in a few months, for the war has just begun. All my love to all my people.’‘And if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war, don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the title.
I will be back. We will hold our heads up high.
“Your king is in great spirits. We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and regain the title. I’ll see you in a few months, for the war has just begun. All my love to all my people”
A date for the trilogy is yet to be fixed but is contractually meant to take place no later than July. After Fury’s convincing victory, Fans are keen to see the gypsy king face Anthony Joshua who holds the other heavyweight belts, but may have to wait for the rematch between Wilder and Fury.
