Deontay Wilder has featured on the Joe Rogan podcast and amazingly claimed that he did indeed knock out Tyson Fury in the 12th round. Wilder believes that the referee Jack Reiss did not give a proper ten count and Fury did not get up in time.
Joe Rogan began by saying: “In the 12th round, first of all, I don’t know how the f*ck he got up. I do not understand it, I remember watching it on TV and I’m like wow he knocked him out in the twelfth round that it crazy, that is crazy. Then, of course, you played that thing on your Instagram which basically shows that you did knock him out."
Deontay Wilder: “I definitely knocked him out.”
JR: “He definitely didn’t get up in time.”
DW: “He definitely didn’t, you know.”
JR: “Well it's his job to just get up at ten, it is not his job to know exactly when ten seconds is.”
DW: “Correct. You know, Jack Reiss definitely had delays on that count. I’ve seen the fight back like six times, definitely when he got to eight, eight was a very long delay. ‘EIGHT!’ Then it was ‘NIIIINE’, like I said nine out of ten judges would have waved it off. Especially when you see a guys eyes roll in the back of his head and him hitting the canvas. His whole head meat penetrated, like it start getting tight the muscles in the head, getting tight in the back but you know, I didn’t understand how he got up either. God is a good god.”
Joe Rogan went on to say:
“He got up and he boxed well. He recovered, you came after him and you hit him with some more big shots and he kept moving but then he started getting his legs back under him and he started landing.”
Wilder responded: “There’s also other things as well, you know he still a gypsy. You know they believe in a lot of things.”
Talk of a rematch is still ongoing with no date or location confirmed as of yet. This fight is simply too big not to happen in 2019, with both fighters suggesting summer as the ideal time for a rematch. Watch the full clip down below.
