Tyson Fury has expressed an interest in having a warm up fight after beating Deontey Wilder in their rematch fight, if he is injury free.
The WBC champion , who is confident of repeating his victory over the dangerous Deontey Wilder, said he would 100% be looking for ‘a stay busy fight’ if he is successful against Wilder, as he addressed baseless claims from Anthony Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearns that he was avoiding facing Joshua. Joshua made the claim after an arbitrator ruled that the gypsy king must honour a contract with the beaten American for a rematch in the event Fury was victorious, as he turned out to be.
Fury is widely regarded as the best heavyweight in the world today, although that position officially belongs to Anthony Joshua , who holds three of the main belts.
When asked how he responds to these claims, Fury told talkSPORT’s Gareth A Davies: “I’m absolutely quaking in my boots, for the big bodybuilder.
“I’m s***ing myself because them muscles are terrifying.”
Fury then became more serious and added: “Listen, at the end of the day I’ve never avoided anybody in my career.
“Wilder’s the most dangerous fighter on this planet. I’m giving this fighter – the most dangerous puncher in the history of our sport – three chances in a row to beat me.

“Three opportunities playing with fire, playing with an atomic bomb. It’s very risky business to say the least.
“You’ve got one man who’s quick as lightning, who can knock you out with one punch.
“And you’ve got one guy who doesn’t have a great engine, that gasses out after three or four punches. He looks good, but looks can be deceiving.
“If it was about looks, I wouldn’t be heavyweight champion of the world, would I? Definitely not, I’d be a road sweeper.”

Following the collapse of AJ vs Fury, Tyson’s team quickly arranged the Wilder fight and confirmed it for July 24.
Meanwhile Joshua’s team have spent the past month negotiating with Oleksandr Usyk and the bout is now planned for September 25.
As a result, Fury has now said he could have another fight against a different opponent to fill the time being facing AJ.
He continued: “One thing I will say is though – if I now get through this fight injury free and get the victory, I’ll be looking to fight again this year, for sure.
“If I get through Wilder then we’ll see who’s available after that and who’s out there.
“I might take a voluntary defence.
“Look at the people I’ve had to fight in my last couple of fights.
“I was Wilder’s mandatory. So we’ll see if I can get a keep-busy fight in between.”
Fury’s plans for a stay busy fight makes sense, since his next fight with Wilder would be his first in 18 months when he last snatched the Wbc belt from Wilder with a dominant performance that the former reigning world champion stopped in 7 rounds. The rematch will help clear the rust, but an additional fight will increase his sharpness, putting Joshua at a further disadvantage after he expectedly gets rid of Oleksandr Usyk. It is unlikely Joshua will see another fight once he goes past Usyk, even though the Londoner can do with the added experience even more than Fury.
Wilder has since blamed the defeat to Tyson Fury on a number of factors including his sacked trainer spiing his water, Tyson Fury’s team cheating by allegedly manipulating the gloves, and a heavy costume he wore for the ring walk to the fight.

He knows there will be no excuses for this fight, and will be hoping to regain his championship belt in devastating fashion. Wilder has continued to repeat claims of malpractice being responsible for his last defeat, making his world title challenge against Fury in a couple of wees interesting because his insistence he was cheated will add pressure on him to go for the win in an attempt to validate his claims, while Fury equally badly needs to retain his new belt and keep the huge public interest in a British world title unification clash with Anthony Joshua alive.
