Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) named Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) when asked in an interview with Behind The Gloves who would have to box for the WBC heavyweight belt if he finally vacated the title.

“I would like Wilder to fight for the belt, whoever he is. He doesn't get the respect he deserves and I think he's the second best heavyweight in the world right now and he's knocking everyone out," King of the Gypsies said.

The current WBC heavyweight rankings are as follows: 1. Deontay Wilder, 2. Joe Joyce, 3. Joseph Parker, 4. Frank Sanchez, 5. Andy Ruiz Jr.
