(Reuters) - Dethroned world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder says he still does not see his conqueror Tyson Fury as the true titleholder.

The American told a Premier Boxing Champions podcast on Wednesday that the real 'Bronze Bomber' had not shown up for their last fight, and likened his performance on the night to that of a zombie.
