Defeated boxing great, Deontay Wilder, has finally revealed his mind about his loss to Tyson Fury in their trology fight.
According to him, the still has cause to thank God while he has learnt the lesson the loss is meant to teach him.
Wilder was knocked out in the 11th round after twice knocking down Fury.
After a prologed silence that had unsettled Fury and many other stakeholders, he has now tried to put the record straight and done the needful.
He noted in an online statement:
‘Wow, what a hell of a night! I would like to first and foremost thank God for allowing me to give the world another part of me that’s driven with passion and determination.
‘I would like to thank my team and my fans for sticking by my side through this long process.
‘I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t disappointed in the outcome, but after reflecting on my journey, I now see that what God wanted me to experience is far greater than what I expected to happen.
‘We didn’t get the win, but a wise man once said the victories are within the lessons. I’ve learned that sometimes you have to lose to win.
‘Although, I wanted the win I enjoyed seeing the fans win even more. Hopefully, I proved that I am a true Warrior and a true King in this sport.
‘Hopefully, we proved that no matter how hard you get hit with trials and tribulations you can always pick yourself up to live and fight again for what you believe in.
‘Last but not least I would like to congratulate @gypsyking101 for his victory and thank you for the great historical memories that will last forever.’
Fury too has bounced back in the spirit of sportsmanship, replying Wilder, “The greatest trilogy of all time.”
