Deontay Wilder hacked a big win over Polish challenger Artur Szpilka at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York last weekend but his celebration got crashed a bit, with Tyson Fury around to see his knockout blow.
Fury has been known to do the craziest of things and all that was once again in full display just recently.
Although the British boxer is expected to figure in a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko soon, it seems he just made another enemy when he tried to steal the thunder from under Wilder.
But the problem is Wilder was not in a festive mood and came out swinging back (through verbal jabs) at the brash Fury.

But like most of McGregor's opposition, Wilder does not intend to go quietly and even promises to give him a severe beating he deserves.
"You're just a phony. This is just an act," says Wilder in response to the taunting made by Fury, adding, "You know where I am. You know what time, what place. I ain't scared of nobody, I'll come to your backyard, baby."
With the developments, such could be something that may hinder that scheduled rematch between Fury and Klitschko. Although it doesn't look like the British boxer had that in mind, storming into the ring was uncalled for since he had no business in the first place to come face-to-face with Wilder.
Klitschko and his camp are already in negotiations for a rematch, although anything is still possible with nothing made official yet on Fury's next fight.
Whatever happens and whoever comes first, it looks like Fury wants to rack 'em up in an odd kind of way.
