Tyson Fury says he looks forward to fighting Deontay Wilder again

Tyson Fury should be ashamed for fighting Tom Schwarz, said Dillian Whyte, who added his mother could knock out the German heavyweight.

Fury showed a destructive edge with a second round knockout victory and re-established himself as one of the world’s leading heavyweight boxers in his second US fight since controversially drawing with Deontay Wilder.

Fury is now lining up a rematch against Wilder in 2020 for the WBC title.

The first Fury-Wilder fight was an epic battle that entertained millions of viewer over 12 gripping rounds, but Saturday night’s fight left some feeling underwhelmed, including Whyte.

The British heavyweight has been knocking on the door without getting an answer since losing to Anthony Joshua in December 2012.

Whyte said Fury should be ashamed of avoiding more challenging fights.

“Can’t believe I stayed to watch that joke of a fight,” he tweeted.

“@Tyson_Fury should be ashamed of self running away from me and fighting these chumps my mother would of Knockout Tom the bum in a round #GYPSYBUM #BUMCITY.”

Fury wasted little time in revealing where and when he wants to fight Wilder after his quick victory in his Las Vegas debut.

“I hope America enjoyed it. I'm not one of those who take myself too seriously. September 21st or October 5th, I think in New York, then I'll hunt down Wilder,” he said.

"I won't look past today, but Bob and Frank will get deals done, then we'll fight Wilder early next year.

"I already beat him once so I'll beat him again, and he's going to get a fully match-fit, sharp Tyson Fury.”
