The pre-fight for the world title between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder was hot. It was tense. In fact, hours before the fight, they were close to taking fists. But many may say that it is part of the show.
People and the press look for that and the protagonists usually fulfill the desire. "It's what sells. Blood sells," it is often said.
Tyson Fury took this to the literal, to the facts. He said he wanted to taste the blood of his rival. At the time, it seemed only a provocation, an exclamation that he would go for everything and as a place to defeat his rival and enjoy the victory.
What seemed just a provocation ended up being real. In the sixth round, we could see the moment when Gipsy King tried to lick the blood emanating from Wilder's broken ear. Even in other passages of the fight, Fury showed Wilder's tongue. And again.

At the time it happened, social networks, the luxury audience of the last decade, soon reflected the questionable gesture of the new champion.
“Fury moment keeping his word and savoring Wilder's blood. He literally licked his neck, "" He wanted blood (literal) and he got it "and" He literally tested Wilder's blood, "were some of the comments.
"We knew and we did not hide that if I pressed with my attack on Wilder the combat would be under my control and that was how it happened because he could not stand the pressure or my blows," said Fury, who took a bag of 25 million dollars.
The brand new champion also anticipated that he will give revenge to Wilder. The faces will be seen again. The crown will return to play and the warriors will smell blood again and want to taste it.
