Maybe this time he won't wear his Conan the Barbarian shit to the ring.

he'd better not, but it worked 41x before that so it had a pretty good record until that night ;-)

I don't think so Homie, he blamed his loss on the weight of the costume, not sure he ever wore it before...

Deontay Wilder blamed his $40,000, 40lb ring-walk costume for his knockout defeat against Tyson Fury, and claimed the Brit didn't hurt him at all

The costume was designed by Los Angeles-based designers Cosmo + Donato, and reportedly cost around $40,000 to make.

..."Fury didn't hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me," ...

..."I was only able to put it on [for the first time] the night before, but I didn't think it was going to be that heavy. It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries."...

Claimed he had no legs because of the ring walk.

But it isn't the first time he's worn costumes, that's for sure...

i forgot about that.

i believe it was an excuse. he simply got his asss beat by the better fighter that night.

i believe he is a live dog in this 3rd fight of the trilogy

In regards to his costume may I reference a quote from the Woody Harelson character Billy Hoyle from the classic film White Men Can’t Jump?

”A black guy would rather look good and lose than look bad and win.”

very tough one to call because Fury is the better overall boxer from a fundamental standpoint but Wilder has the one punch power and if he connects it is lights out.
