Deontay Wilder wants Tyson Fury to “Step aside” so he can fight Ruiz/Joshua winner

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder ahead of his scheduled return fights with Luis Ortiz and Tyson Fury has said he would like Fury to “step aside” and allow him to fight the winner of the December 7 return clash between WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua instead. Wilder, in an interview with 78SportsTV, said he doesn’t think Fury really wants to fight him again in February. “In my opinion, I don’t think Fury wants to fight me again anyway,” Wilder said. “If this opportunity comes about, I think Fury will pass up this opportunity, he would want to fight me for the unification, and then come back and fight him. He ain’t really no king, he won't have a title. I revived his career for him. Now, if that happens, Fury, step aside. I would want him to step aside, which I think he would do anyway. I think he would, but I would want him to do it as well, to give a unification. One champion, one face, one name. That has never left my mind.”
