Tyson Fury has a hilarious message for Deontay Wilder ahead of their likely rematch.

Since their meeting last month, Fury has been keeping in shape for the inevitable rematch between himself and “The Bronze Bomber.” However, in a recent interview with BT Sport, Fury issued out a hilarious message for his familiar foe:

“I’m just maintaining my fitness really, I’m [as] fit now as I was then, same kind of thing, I’m ready to fight. Wilder, let’s get the fight made, don’t s*** yourself now mate!”

Fury and Wilder put on a fight that boxing fans will remember for years to come. While many believe the Englishman got the better of the heavy-handed slugger in terms of technicality, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the fight. In the 12th round, Wilder knocked Fury to the canvas with a shot that could’ve been ruled a knockdown. Somehow, Fury got to his feet and was able to finish the fight.

When the final bell rang, the fight went to the judges’ scorecards. Many were upset with the result, but the history books will read the bout ended in a Split Decision Draw. For now, Wilder will hang on to the WBC heavyweight strap. But it seems inevitable that they will meet once again in the first quarter of 2019.

Deontay Wilder Isn’t Worried About Maintaining Undefeated Record

WBC heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) was in attendance for this past weekend’s (Sat. December 22, 2018) fight between Jermell Charlo (31-1, 15 KOs) and Tony Harrison (28-2, 15 KOs).

For those of you who missed it, Charlo dropped his WBC light-middleweight championship to Harrison in a controversial unanimous decision. It was the first defeat of Charlo’s career. Maintaining an undefeated record in boxing is of high importance to the sport’s top stars. Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) made a career off his undefeated record, which currently sits at a perfect 50-0.

Wilder also holds an undefeated record for the time being, but he came very close to suffering his first defeat earlier this month (Sat. December 1, 2018). “The Bronze Bomber” shared the ring with Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) inside Los Angeles’ Staples Center, defending his WBC heavyweight crown against the Englishman. The pair went all 12 rounds in a fight that boxing fans will remember for quite some time.

Despite many believing Fury took the fight in terms of technicality, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the entire contest. His latter, in the 12th round, could’ve arguably been ruled a knockout. However, after going the distance, the judges’ scorecards presented a split decision draw. Speaking to Boxing Scene recently, Wilder spoke on the possability of suffering the first loss of his boxing career.

The thought doesn’t seem to bother Wilder as most might think, as the American slugger believes losses can truly humble a fighter, and push them to comeback even stronger:

“A loss or a draw can be a great thing but it all depends on where your minds at.,” Wilder said. “It can make you honest and humble. That’s how you become a 3-time 4-time champion.

“A lot of people want to see how you fall and get back up. That’s what people turn into see how you get back up.”

Wilder has solidified himself in boxing heavyweight history with the amazing highlight reel of knockouts he has amassed over his career. While retiring with an undefeated record would be nice for any fighter, that’s not the reason Wilder is in the fight game. Rather than maintaining a spotless record, Wilder simply wants to be remembered as the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves in the heavyweight division:

“I’m not worried about an undefeated record,” said Wilder. “If I happen to lose, then so be it, watch my comeback and see how I get back. Blessings to all those that get in the ring, we put our life on the line for people’s entertainment.”

Amir Khan: Fury & Wilder Proved They’re Two Best Heavyweights In World

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder certainly proved a lot when they shared the ring earlier this month.

But in former WBA light-welterweight boxing champion Amir Khan’s eyes, they proved they’re the two best heavyweights in the world. Khan recently spoke to Boxing Scene and said that he doesn’t believe Wilder will be defending his WBC heavyweight title against heavyweight king Anthony Joshua anytime soon.

Instead, he believes a rematch against Fury is the more likely outcome. Not only that, but it makes the most sense, seeing as they proved they’re the two best heavyweights in the world with what they did together at the Staples Center in Los Angles earlier this month:

“I don’t think the Joshua fight will happen,” Khan said. “There’s a lot to lose for Joshua in that fight. But, I can see the rematch (between Wilder and Fury) happening more likely.”

“It was a great fight and I can’t wait to see the second one. And I think it’s showed the world that the best two heavyweights in the world have to be Fury and Deontay Wilder. Because both of them look unbeatable.”

Wilder and Fury went 12 hard-fought rounds on December 1st. Many believe Fury got the better of the American in the technical department, but Wilder certainly made things interesting. He scored the only two knockdowns of the entire fight, and the latter in the 12th round arguably could’ve been ruled a knockout.

Nonetheless, the fight certainly left an impression on WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The Englishman seems interested now more than ever in booking a fight with Wilder at the moment. Only time will tell what’s next for these three men at heavyweight.
