Despite expressing his annoyance at the American's comments, the 33-year-old continued to praise Wilder in his post-fight interview.
"I’m not going to make any excuses, Wilder is a top fighter," said Fury. "He gave me a real run for my money tonight, and I always said I’m the best in the world and he’s the second best.
"He's got no love for me, Deontay Wilder, because you know why, because I beat him three times.
"I'm a sportsman. I went over to him to show some love and respect and he didn't want to give it back. That's his problem."
Following the fight, Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott explained why the Bronze Bomber had snubbed Fury.
"Deontay looks at Fury as a man he had serious issues with concerning allegations and things he'd seen," he told ESNEWS.
"After they released all that energy, he still felt the way he felt."
Wilder has since been handed a six-month medical suspension by The Nevada State Athletic Commission. The 35-year-old was immediately taken to hospital, where he was reported to have suffered a broken hand.
