WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has hit back at claims he cheated in his rematch with Deontay Wilder, rubbishing allegations he hid a blunt object his gloves.
The rumours won't go away for Fury after vision from his domination of Wilder four months ago uncovered a floppy glove during several exchanges during the seventh round KO win.
The events prompted many fans to take to social media to highlight the inconsistencies in the appearance of the gloves, and now Wilder's brother has come out swinging - calling out Fury for putting a "dent" in his brother's head.
Marsellos Wilder said: "You know it's crazy when you great, they got to do everything that's underneath real to figure out how to stop you.

"It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent in the side of his head. This is due to a blunt object struck against his head from his last fight.
"No glove or fist was able to cause the damage, according to the autopsy.
"My daddy once told me if you pull a gun out on someone, you better kill them. Because if you don't, they are going to come back and kill you.
"The king is about to rise again. We coming for blood."

"This is just a quick video to address all this foul play talk from Wilder and his team.
"I've just read an article before saying that I might've had some blunt objects in my gloves, yeah, two big 19 stone 7 – 275 pound destroyers in each glove.
"So yeah, getting punched up the temple may do that to ya.
"Not unless Wilder's one trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well, along with the Las Vegas State Commission guys who never left the room.
"Jay Deas was in the room when I had my hands wrapped, he examined them, he was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them and everyone else was in the room.
"They don't leave you, we all know this. So everybody citing foul player, BULLS***!
"And the next time, I'll put a dent in his boxing career, end it, because it'll be two knockout losses in a row, bye bye forever."

Legendary cutman Jacob "Stitch" Duran refuted claims Fury had something in his gloves, pointing to the fact inspectors were there to see the gloves fitted to Fury's hands.
He has worked with Fury, the Klitschko brothers and several reputable fighters.
"I'll give you the facts, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is one of the best commission in the world," he said.
"They handle the gloves until it's time to put them on. There was no tampering whatsoever. I was there. It's just a big myth.
"It didn't happen. That's why you have the inspectors there to make sure everything is followed within the guidelines. None of that happened, but it's good for discussion.
"It's going to fade away. It's not even true, it's not even close to being true."
The latest attempt by Wilder's camp to question the validity of Fury's win comes after Wilder himself claimed he "had no legs" during the fight because of his ring costume, which he said weighed over 20kgs.
A trilogy fight is planned for later this year before Fury takes on Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight division.
