Tyson Fury has accused rival Deontay Wilder of having "no substance" and "no intellect" as they prepare for their long-awaited rematch.
Wilder is set to return to the ring against Luis Ortiz on November 23 to defend his WBC heavyweight title, whilst Tyson Fury is enjoying a brief stint in WWE.
Whilst Fury is focusing on his wrestling debut against Brawn Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, he still has one eye on Wilder with a rematch planned for February 22nd.
Having made a major impact Stateside with wins over Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin, as well as his WWE venture, Fury claims he is already more popular across the pond than Wilder.
"He screams 'bomb squad' a lot and pretends to have a personality, but really he doesn't and there is no depth to him," Fury said of Wilder.
"I have already got more American fans than Wilder. For whatever reason, Wilder is not popular in America and people don't like him.
"He has got no substance. He is a loud mouth.
"Behind that there is no intellect. He comes out with random things that don't make sense. I am a trash talker, but sometimes I struggle to put together what he is talking about."
Talking about Wilder's upcoming title defence, he added: "Wilder has to get through his fight first injury-free and even win.
"He should come through, but Luis Ortiz is a dangerous customer and is not to be overlooked or underestimated.
"For four or five rounds he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world. He is a 6ft 4in southpaw who can punch hard."
