The pair exchanged words from across the stage
"The weight just came on," Wilder said in his interview.
"I wanted to look sexy, feel sexy.
"I bench press over 350lbs so whatever weight he comes in, I can lay on my back and lift him.
"There won't be any of that rushing me and putting his weight on me."
It was agreed there would be no face off between them
A heated Fury bellowed: "Look at the state of him - his heart's rattling now, his balls have sunk up inside of him.
"There's a man here that's gonna annihilate you dosser - me, the 'Gypsy King'.
"Tyson Fury's the name, f***ing fighting's the game.
"No man born from his mother's c*** can beat the 'Gypsy King', never mind a sausage like that there."
