Tyson Fury names three fighters on his 2016 hit list…and then offers them out on Twitter

These are the fights he wants...

Tyson Fury looks ready to get back in the ring.

The Mancunian champion is spoiling for a fight again after cleaning up in his multi-million heavyweight superfight win over Wladimir Klitschko.

The highly-anticipated rematch hasn’t even been finalised yet but he’s already offering out fellow heavyweight champions.

There are three names on his hit list of fighters he wants to challenge in 2016.

Former champion Klitschko is obviously top of the list as Fury looks to finish the Ukrainian’s career and prove his victory in Germany wasn’t a fluke.

Next the 27-year-old has set his sights on a showdown with big-punching WBC champion Deontay Wilder. The American has already said he’d gladly fight the WBA and WBO champ – but Fury still called him out on Twitter anyway.

Then fight number three for Fury would be new IBF champion Charles Martin. The unbeaten American fancies a fight with Fury – but due to the Klitschko rematch it looks likely he will fight Anthony Joshua on April 9 in London.

But if Joshua were to beat him we could be looking at a huge all-British match-up.

There could be some massive fights in here if Fury can make them.

There was mixed reaction on Twitter…
