Boxing fans mocked Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s fake shoving match

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will face off on Saturday in their widely anticipated heavyweight championship rematch, and on Wednesday, the two boxers held their press conference in hopes of increasing the excitement for the fight.

And man, their acting skills can use some work.

At one point during the press conference, the two boxers got in each other’s faces and exchanged words. Wilder, who was basically holding back laughter the entire time, gave Fury a shove. So, of course, Fury shoved Wilder right back. Dustups have happened during pre-fight press conferences before, and sometimes, there’s actual animosity involved. That wasn’t the case here.

It doesn’t get any faker than this:

I mean, Wilder was practically smiling as he was getting pushed. He looked to be enjoying himself in this HEATED exchange.

Boxing fans saw right through that act.
