After the fight ended, Fury approached Wilder but was rebuffed by the 35-year-old American.

Fury told BT Sport, reported talkSPORT : “I said ‘well done, mate’ and he said ‘I don’t want to show any sportsmanship or respect.” I said ‘No problem.’

“I was very surprised. Sore loser. Idiot.”

Despite perhaps the most impressive showing of his career, Fury claimed that this was not him at his best.

“I was made for this s—,” Fury began.

“I didn’t have my best performance, but I pulled it out of the bag when I needed to get it done.
