TYSON FURY would like Deontay wilder to fight for the WBC heavyweight title after he retires from boxing.
The Gypsy King defended the historic green belt with another stunning knockout of his sparring partner Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
Tyson Fury brutally knocked Dillian Whyte out in their domestic fight-up on Saturday
by beating Whyte.
Fury, 33 years old, seems to be preparing for life after boxing. He also admitted that he would like to see Wilder compete for the belt, once he has retired from the sport.
Behind The Gloves, he said: "I'd love to see Deontay wilder fight for it again.
"I don’t know how this [Wilder being No.1 on the WBC rankings] is possible. He has lost three fights in succession and is still No.1-rated.
"But that's up for them."
