Deontay Wilder Assures Trilogy Clause Will Be Triggered, Plans Sacking Trainer For Throwing In Towel
Defeated Deontay Wilder has confirmed he will definitely trigger the rematch clause against his conquest Tyson Fury, who ended his unbeaten to become the reigning WBC heavyweight champion on Sunday.
Wilder suffered a devastating defeat to the newly-crowned heavyweight champion, Fury, and left many disappointed as he was drenched in his own blood from Fury's heavy landing punches that rendered his wobbling and unstable.
There was no comparison between their first fight and the rematch at MGM Grand in Las Vegas where Fury proved to be the better fighter and convincingly crushed Wilder in a seven-round knockout. The American was knocked down twice before his corner thrown in the towel in surrender to Fury when he had him battered with punches in the corner.
Wilder definitely was not pleased by his corner's decision to surrender likewise his head trainer, Jay Deas, and both are already having discussions on restructuring the crew, which might mean trainer Mark Breland who threw in the towel might be given the boots for his action.
"The rematch is definitely going to happen," Wilder confirmed in an interview with The Athletic. "We're going to get it on. I want to get right back to it."

In a separate interview with Yahoo, the Bronze Bomber talked about the decision from his corner that led to the fight being called off. He said, "I am upset with Mark for the simple fact we've talked about this many times and it's not emotional."
Fury had nothing less than 45 punches accurately landing on Wilder that burst his face and eardrum with blood gushing out and badly swollen. Not even a dropping of blood was spotted on Fury's face, he was almost as healthy looking as he went into the ring.

Like Wilder had long anticipated a day he would be badly beaten as he added during the interview, "It is not an emotional thing, it's a principal thing. We've talked about this situation many, many, many years before this even happened. I said as a warrior, as a champion, as a leader, as a ruler, I was to go out on my shield."
Well, whatever could be Wilder's stance on his defeat, it was obvious and without every reasonable doubt that he would have been knocked out flat by Fury. His legs were already wobbling and from his first flooring, his armed have been weakened and loose.
