Wilder race sits Fury! Fury declines trap

[PRINCEKOOL]

There was no real racial element in the first match up at all.

There was no racial element in Ruiz Junior vs Joshua also etc

Strange punditry.

Mr. "Gypsy" this and "Gypsy" now does not want to talk about race/ethnicity/nationality

Race and Nationality have always been a huge part of boxing.

Such a great argument

Was what Wilder said offensive or something? I've seen a bit of crying about this.....

Na what Wilder said was fine imo – it's more the framing of it all by the journalist. He was basically saying it would be a triumph for black people to beat this white guy.

And Fury took umbrage to this being a black vs white thing, whereas he sees it simply as two top heavyweights fighting for the title. No one wants to be painted as the oppressor or opponent of an entire peoples.

Wilder just answered a question. He wasn't baiting anything. You don't don't even know what "race bait" means. Not surprising that you can't spell it.

You should stick to the Mexican fighter baiting you do here on a daily basis.

But Wilder has done exactly that several times before.

I saw this - the guy had the first question and guess what?

He framed it within the racial lens of Black History Month...

Pathetic race baiting and totally irrelevant, and people wonder why nobody takes racism seriously.

The racist 'journalist' is part of the problem.

Tyson Fury's fan-base is probably more diverse than any of the other top heavyweights apart from Anthony Joshua 'I don't really think Fury identifies that strongly with a lot of white people because he is a gypsy' Fury was pretty much like Wilder before he got into his struggles he was always ****ing on about the discrimination gypsies suffer from etc

Deontay Wilder just seem's abit angry, there is no real method to his stance at times 'I believe it is just fight week, and the media antagonizes him to react etc'

The people that don't take racism seriously are racist themselves. This is just a boxing match. So find another excuse for being a racist.

There was definitely an ethnocentric component to Ruiz- Joshua. Apparently that was okay with you. Or you must have missed all of the interviews with Ruiz talking about the pride in his Mexican heritage, winning for the Mexican people and Mexico even though he was born in the US.

The problem is that when black people mention anything about their history or pride people lose their minds and it becomes "race baiting."

This thread is an example of the double standards that people with racist agendas like to use when it's convenient for them.

[DaNeutral.]

Deontay is African American and he along with other afro Americans have alot of pride in their colour and heritage.

Fury is British, in Britain choosing to segregate yourself depending on colour isn't really done to anywhere near an American level so it won't really make sense to him and he will distance himself from that kind of ******ity.

So I get why its a thing for Wilder and I get why Fury thinks its dumb. That journo seemed a bell end though.
