American World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder wants to fight newly crowned WBO, IBF and WBA champion Tyson Fury of Britain and has told BBC Sports he is ready to go to the United Kingdom for the fight.
Fury won the belts with a comfortable victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Germany in which he ended the undefeated nine year reign of Klitschko.
BBC Sports reported that immediately after the 27 year old Fury scored what was considered a stunning upset of Klitschko, the 30 year old Wilder tweeted, he was ?coming? for Fury.
Wilder told BBC Radio 5 live on Monday, ?I want the fight to happen as soon as possible? although the American has a scheduled fight in January.
He said, ?I?ve got to fight someone in January and after that fight I would love to have a unification bout ? and guess what. I wouldn?t mind coming to the UK for that one.?
Wilder added, ?no matter where it might be, I want to be the undisputed champion of the world.?
