Deontay Wilder has refused to accept his defeat to Tyson Fury and says the Gypsy King is not a champion.
Fury knocked down Wilder three times as he dethroned the American as WBC heavyweight champion.
Wilder also believes Fury cannot be called the champion yet, claiming that they still have scores to settle in the trilogy.
“I don’t see Fury as a champion,” he told the PBC podcast.
“He ain’t the champion yet, we still got one more fight left.
“He knows that wasn’t me. Everything that happened, happened in the last 15 minutes before the fight. There’s a lot of things that went wrong.
“There’s a lot of things that I don’t even want to talk about at this moment in time.
“I’m still reflecting on certain things, I can’t believe the things that happened to me, and they happened at that point in time in my career.
“Maybe I’ll come out with some things as things unfold and I get into camp, but I’m still reflecting on it and I’ve figured some things out.
“People that know boxing know that wasn’t Deontay Wilder that night, I was a zombie that night.
“I can’t talk about a lot of things, but you can tell from when I took off my mask, to other certain things I was doing,” Wilder explained.
