Deontay Wilder vows to open up Tyson Fury's cut in rematch sustained in Otto Wallin fight in 2020 rematch

Deontay Wilder intends to open up Tyson Fury’s severe cut in order to win their rematch. 

The Brit suffered a minor crisis in his recent bout with Otto Wallin when a cut developed above his right eye. 

The Gypsy King weathered the storm though and prevailed on points, despite a doctor looking closely at the damage, which could have handed him a shock defeat. 

And Wilder admits he was shocked at the damage caused and claims it is as bad as he has ever seen. 

“He’s very vulnerable. When he gets hit on the chin, it’s a wrap,” Wilder told Thaboxingvoice

“Otto Wallin was doing a great job up to that point, especially when he cut him over the eye. I thought he was going to get a stoppage. It looked like it was three inches wide and two inches deep.

“That’s the worst cut besides the (Vitali) Klitschko and Lennox fight. That was the worst cut I’ve seen in my life.”

Wilder then vowed to open up Fury’s cut once again when they rematch next year.

 ”I can’t wait. I hope they heal well, and I can’t wait to see Mr Fury.

“That’s not my problem if he’s ready or not. He signed the contract. That’s his problem. He better get ready. No matter what he does, when he fights me, it [the cut] is going to open right back up.

“I’m going to pop it right back open. He can get plastic surgery, duck tape or staples, Super Glu or Hot Glu, Cement Glu. S***, he can go get some of that Flex Glu. It ain’t even going to matter.”
