The first match between both heavyweights was held in 2018 which ended in a controversial draw.
Both fought a second match on Saturday where Tyson Fury had a dominating bout with Wilder where Deontay threw in the towel in the seventh round.
Deontay Wilder blamed his costume for the loss. According to Wilder, "Fury didn't hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me,".
Wilder said: "I didn't have no legs from the beginning of the fight - in the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through,".
"I was only able to put it on the night before but I didn't think it was going to be that heavy," added Wilder.
After the bout Wilder was taken to the hospital, he rubbished all the speculations regarding the injuries (a concussion, broken eardrum or broken jaw) after the match. He said that he got stitches on the cut in his ear.
Deontay criticised assistant coach Mark Breland for throwing in the towel to stop the match. He said there was no reason to be emotional and he had five rounds left and he was very well in the game.
