New footage has emerged of Deontay Wilder mocking Tyson Fury during his fight with Francesco Pianeta.
The two will put their unbeaten professional records on the line for the WBC title in Los Angeles next month.
Fury has only recently returned to the ring following a nearly three-year absence following a doping violation and has faced only two opponents in his comeback so far with Wilder seemingly unimpressed with the quality of the opponents.
Showtime are releasing an access-all-areas documentary series about the run up to the clash at the Staples Center and in it Wilder is shown yelling at Fury during his most recent fight.
“Show me something, baby. Show me something!," he shouted from ringside.
Wilder believes Fury’s late addition of trainer Freddie Roach to his team is a display of “nervous behaviour” ahead of the fight.
Wilder also questioned the absence of former trainer and uncle Peter Fury, while father John Fury will also not be in his son’s corner come fight night as he has been denied a US visa to a past criminal conviction.
“This is the biggest fight of his life to date and if I was him I would be trying to reach out to any resources when you are dealing with one of the most dangerous men in the boxing game,” Wilder said on Thursday night.
“I would have been more happy with Peter, that is who he really needs. His only name has been Klitschko, but Peter was the one that was with him for that. Peter knows him, in and out.
“In this short period of time (new trainers such as Roach) ain’t going to get to know you. When you start getting multiple trainers that is nervous behaviour.”
