Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder refuse to break eye contact during intense staredown

LOS ANGELES — Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will meet for a third time on July 24 but ahead of that matchup, the heavyweights engaged in an incredibly long staredown following a press conference held in Los Angeles.

The entire situation was somewhat bizarre after Wilder made an opening statement while promising bloodshed in his third fight against Fury before sitting down and refusing to speak for the remainder of the question and answer period.

Meanwhile, Fury walked out on stage without his shirt on as he spent the majority of the time poking and jabbing at Wilder’s silence and also bantering with his new head coach, Malik Scott.
