Former WBC champion Wilder returned to the winner's circle with a split decision victory over British veteran Derek Chisora at the 02 Arena on Saturday night after a difficult number of years since he lost twice to Fury.

It is a similar story for Fury as he gets back in the ring this weekend to take on Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after 16 months away from the sport following his defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, but Wilder aimed a thinly-veiled dig at the ‘Gypsy King’ and his active social media account after the American’s win over Chisora.
