Tyson Fury says a potential fight with Deontay Wilder will be \u2018the biggest fight in over 100 years\u2019.<\/p>\n
The current heavyweight champion of the world \u2013 the holder of the WBO, WBA and IBO belts \u2013 will have to face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch later this year first.<\/p>\n
But Fury\u2019s meeting with the unbeaten Wilder is only a matter of time. The 27-year-old self-proclaimed Gypsy King made the headlines last week as Wilder defeated Artur Szpilka for the WBC belt.<\/p>\n
Fury stormed into the ring to insult the American, claiming \u2018any time, any place, anywhere. I\u2019ll beat you. You\u2019re a bum.\u2019<\/p>\n
Discussing their inevitable bout, Fury told Kick Off: \u201cIt reignites the heavyweight division. \u201cIt will be the biggest fight in over 100 years in heavyweight boxing. When was the last time you got two undefeated giants fighting each other?<\/p>\n
\u201cOne from the United Kingdom, one from the United States, both very vocal, both handsome, both young and both undefeated. \u201cI\u2019m 27 years old now, I\u2019m undisputed champion of the world in my eyes. \u201cWhat more can I win, like my dad said if I win another 50 fights from now on, I will never accomplish what I did on 28th November in Dusseldorf.<\/p>\n
\u201cA man doesn\u2019t come more confident than Tyson Fury. I don\u2019t know how much more confident I can get. \u201c[The Wilder bout] is a bigger fight in the UK to be honest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Deontay Wilder must come to the UK. \u201cIf he\u2019s the legitimate champion, he must come to me. If it comes to shove, I would go to America providing my trainer can get into the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first obstacle for Fury is the rematch with Klitschko, with the venue and date yet to be confirmed. Fury said: \u201cI am hoping it\u2019s ASAP.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care where, if I have to go to Germany again, OK. \u201cI\u2019d prefer it to be in the UK because I want to the lions\u2019 den for him, I\u2019d expect the favour returned.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dream is to fight at Old Trafford. I\u2019ve been going there from being a little kid and I always said I dreamed of fighting at the [Manchester] United football ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I can\u2019t fight there, then Wembley would be acceptable. If not Wembley then Cardiff. If not Cardiff then Stockport County, who knows \u2013 anywhere in the UK!\u201d<\/p>\n
