After Tyson Fury's defeat, Deontay Wilder isn't sure what his next move will be.

He said to iFL TV, "If the fans don't see me I would fight these fighters like Wilder in a heartbeat."

"And I want people know that I would fight any person in their prime, or at any time.

"Give me a mandatory, and I will fight anybody. I love the game and will fight any person.

"I'm willing to take on any challenge provided politics are not an issue and the funds are available with these guys. People know what I stand for.

"I believe Wilder thought Tyson (Fury) was going to be an easier fight than his previous fights, and got caught up in a trilogy web.

"But would you fight Wilder?"
