Wilder: 'I would face Fury in England'

American heavyweight Deontay Wilder has insisted that a fight between him and Tyson Fury will "definitely happen" at some stage in the future.

The two unbeaten fighters have regularly been involved in a war of words since they both moved into world title contention, and Wilder has revealed that he is prepared to come to England to ensure that the fight goes ahead.

The 28-year-old told BoxNation: "The fight between me and Tyson Fury will definitely happen. I would fight him anywhere. I'm a traveler, a global fighter. I fight anywhere all over the world; that's how you become legendary.

"I love England. I feel like it's my home so it won't be no different whether it's in the United States or England."

Wilder faces Nicolai Firtha on Saturday night as he looks to maintain his 100% knockout record since turning professional.
