Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder go head-to-head in fashion stakes with bespoke suits, gold slippers and diamond jewellery
TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder may be fighting in the ring on the weekend, but the duo are also competing to be the best dressed fighter ahead of their rematch.
Both men caught the eye at the MGM Grand on Tuesday – not only because of their hulking heights – but due to what they were wearing at the promotional event in Las Vegas.
Fury is known for attending press events in bespoke suits, and he didn’t disappoint as he showed off his latest masterpiece.
Ditching a Batman costume that he previously wore in the build-up to his bout against Wladimir Klitschko, Fury wore a dark suit, filled with photos of his own face.
In closer inspection, the faces on the suit bare messages regarding mental health, with the 31-year-old’s tailor Claudio Lugli taking to social media to comment on the design.
He tweeted: “Custom-made suit with subtle Mental Health connotations and iconic Fury quotes.
“A classy touch from the lineal Champ Tyson Fury to raise awareness for mental illness and internal struggle.”
DRESS TO IMPRESS
As well as the eye-catching suit, Fury also donned gold leather slippers as he roared to the fans in attendance that he will be knocking the Bronze Bomber out.
Not wanting to be outdone by the unbeaten Brit, Wilder also came to the MGM dressed to impress.
The 34-year-old arrived to the event wearing a fur-collared leather coat, with a gold chain and medallion hanging around his neck.
A gold-encrusted watch was also proudly shown off by the American, as well as a gold ring and jazzy, spiky footwear to prove he truly is the King of Bling.
Speaking of the 2008 Olympic bronze medallist, Fury said: “I have done everything right in 10 weeks here, I am ready for anything they chuck at me.
