Tyson Fury Said He Wants To See Deontay Wilder Continue Fighting

Former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk beat Joshua via unanimous
decision in September to become the unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO
heavyweight champion.

“I’d like to see him fight on, because he has a lot to give to the sport,”
Fury told The Ring of Wilder. “I still think he’s the second-best
heavyweight out there, and I still think he knocks everybody out except me
– 100 percent.”

“I’m running out of things to win,” Fury said. “I’m absolutely ecstatic and
overwhelmed to be recognized by Ring Magazine yet again.

“That’s more awards to add to the collection and more plaques to put on the
wall. I’m absolutely delighted, and I’d like to give a big shout out to
Deontay Wilder, because I needed a dance partner in order to win this
award.”

He added: “It was a great fight, but not so great for me and Deontay,
because fights like that knock years off your life.

“But it was an epic battle and a great trilogy. It was definitely all worth
it. There was a lot of talk that it was one of the best heavyweight fights
in recent years, and it was a great thing to be a part of.”
