Tyson Fury came out as kryptonite to Deontay Wilder’s invincible streak, which is now under the clutches of sheer criticism. Once an undefeated heavyweight world champion, Wilder, now has lost twice in a row and is looking to hang up his gloves.
Although Tyson Fury has hailed Wilder as the hard-hitting heavyweight several times, not everyone believes the same. That said, Dereck Chisora wants to have a shot at ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and has urged the American star to remain active on the ride.
Despite losing his last three outings, Chisora looked unfazed by Wilder’s knockout power. ‘War’ offered his legitimate respect to Deontay Wilder but called him out at the same time for an in-ring scrap during a chat with Seconds Out.

Chisora said, “Hey, listen. I am a big fan of The Bronze Bomber but you know what, before you hang them up man, let me taste that power baby. I want to come to America and have a war with you brother, I am ready already. Coming to America. Let’s rock and roll baby.”
“I wanna taste that power. People always say, he has got power but you know what, I don’t think so. If you get this message, let me know.”
Well, Wilder hasn’t announced an official retirement and can consider another run towards a world title. 42-2-1 as a professional, holding 41 KOs to his name, he is still a valid threat to the other contenders.
Was Mike Tyson Adopted?
Meanwhile, he was pitched to face Andy Ruiz Jr., already. While Dereck Chisora has also offered to fight Wilder now, it leaves several potential options open for ‘The Bronze Bomber’. Amidst all, Tyson Fury has also envisioned a super fight for Wilder.

Following the end of their trilogy, Fury has shown respect towards Wilder all over. He even backed his former nemesis to vanquish Anthony Joshua within three rounds if they ever cross paths. Both Wilder and Joshua have lost their respective world titles to Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, respectively.

So, it makes sense for Wilder and AJ to collide and set a mandatory between the two. But AJ is looking to rematch Usyk straight away. Furthermore, Tyson Fury will now defend his WBC belt against Dillian Whyte. So, Wilder may have to look at other options if he wants to set another run.
