The Gypsy King has been called out by a familiar foe after his defeat

Deontay Wilder is keen to gain revenge over Tyson Fury and wants a fourth fight against him in the near future.

The Bronze Bomber wants to make the Gypsy King 'pay so bad' after he suffered his first professional defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last weekend.


Wilder and Fury first fought in December 2018, with the match declared a draw at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Fury inflicted Wilder's first professional defeat in February 2020 to claim the WBC heavyweight title before beating him for a second time 18 months later.

Wilder has fought just twice since, losing comprehensively last time out to Joseph Parker last December in Saudi Arabia.

Fury is set to have a rematch with Usyk later this year, while a fight with Anthony Joshua could be on the cards.

But, at 38, Wilder is not giving up hope of a fourth bout against the Brit and is desperate to beat him.

He told Sportsbook review: "I want to make Tyson Fury pay so bad, so bad. I don’t think that chapter is over with.

"I could see a fourth in the making, created by the creators.

"The Saudis have the source and the power to make it all happen. I want to get it back so bad and reclaim all the gold.

"I’m looking forward to working with the Saudis for a long time, even when I regain the titles.

"I truly believe that I will be the undisputed champion and hold all those belts."

Wilder's defeat to Parker in December put a stop to a potential fight with Joshua for the time being.

He will next enter the ring on June 1 against Zhilei Zhang in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Wilder believes victory against the Chinese star will open up avenues for title fights.

He added: "I've been a monster (in sparring) and I love the feeling that I'm feeling.

"I love this craving and hunger for blood. And when I felt this, then, and only then, did I know that I was truly back.

"The things I'm doing; not hesitating to throw my punches, not hesitating to get on a wounded animal when I see him wounded, like I used to do.

"After this fight, all my doors open up again, all the doors open.

"I'm still in contention for titles. After this, all the doors open."
