Yeah. It's legit. Wilder's team made a stink about Fury's Paffen pro horsehair gloves because the leather looked creased or wrinkled (caused by the malleability of the horsehair and type of leather used). There was nothing wrong with the gloves, but Wilder's team said there was a problem. The commission wouldn't disallow Fury from using those gloves, so to one up Fury, he decided to switch to his old Everlast MX horsehair gloves (which I'm sure looked exactly like Fury's gloves, with the wrinkles in the leather).
So yeah, it's legit. I almost believe that Wilder had been pressured by his team to switch. I can't imagine that he'd believe there was something fishy with Fury's gloves when he's been using the same type of glove in the past, gloves that looked pretty much the same. It's just really dumb, man.
