Tyson Fury calls out the *other* heavyweight champion with bizarre tweet

Things are going to get even Wilder

Kevin Beirne

After defeating Wladimir Klitschko and taking his belts, Tyson Fury now has his sights set on another champion.

Deontay Wilder is the current WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World, meaning he’s all that stands in the way of Fury being crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, just like his coach predicted back in 2006.

One man who is well aware of this is Fury himself, who called out Wilder on Twitter on Wednesday to seek a unification bout in the most Tyson Fury way possible.

While we’re not sure what a ‘skinny ball playing bum city’ is exactly, we know that Wilder is no slouch. Like Fury he is undefeated, boasting an astonishing record of 34 knock-outs from 35 fights.

With names like Fury and Wilder, they were always going to have to fight each other – and it’s good news for boxing fans because it sounds like Wilder is on board.
