Tyson Fury ESPN deal: Brit calls out Deontay Wilder after signing multi-million pound Top Rank contract

The ‘Gypsy King’ insists he can rematch ‘Bronze Bomber’ despite his move appearing to complicate negotiations

Tyson Fury has called out Deontay Wilder after signing a deal with ESPN and Top Rank, seemingly complicating negotiations for a rematch against the WBC world heavyweight champion.

The Gypsy King could only draw with the Bronze Bomber last December after miraculously climbing off the canvas in the 12th round, narrowly avoiding a knockout defeat.

But despite seemingly pushing the rematch further away, Fury grasped the opportunity to call out Wilder and demanded a fairer deal this time.

“If you’re watching Deontay, I’m coming for you and this time you can’t rip me off,” Fury said at the unveiling of his bumper ESPN deal.

“As far as I’m concerned, the fight is more makeable now than ever because we have the biggest boys in the game behind us and I’m only a fighter.

“I can only fight who they put in front of me. I want the biggest fights., the Joshuas, the Wilders of the world, and everyone else out there too.

With the Wilder rematch in jeopardy and unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua fighting Jarrell Miller on June 1 in New York, fury risk being left out of the title picture in the immediate future.

At the time of learning he had failed in his bid to become a two-time world heavyweight champion, Fury was calm and seemingly gracious despite many feeling the draw was a harsh conclusion.

But deepdown Fury seems to feel he was hard done by and that as the A side of the fight, he would have prevaled.

“It gives me an opportunity to be shown to the most people in the world and be in the position not to be an opponent,” Fury added.

“They have to come to the Tyson Fury show now.”
