New WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury

The new WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is “almost sure” he will face Deontay Wilder for the third time rather than Anthony Joshua.

Fury produced the most destructive performance of his boxing life to end Wilder's five-year reign as WBC heavyweight world champion in seven thrilling rounds of their Las Vegas rematch.

Wilder’s team threw in the towel in the seventh round.

Fury won every minute of the fight and even wagged his tongue near the bloody neck of Wilder during the bout.

The Bronze Bomber was pictured bleeding from the ear after the fourth round.

Fury knocked down Wilder in the third and fifth rounds.

This was more than a world title win, it was a statement as Fury has been through days of depression, weight gain and despair that cost him the belts he claimed in 2015.

Fury is unbeaten in 30 fights.

He says he cannot wait for the rematch if Wilder wants it.

There is a clause in the contract for Fury to fight Wilder again.
