Deontay Wilder promises to "baptise" Tyson Fury

The World Heavyweight division is quickly heating up following American Boxer, Deontay Wilder’s win against Artur Szpilka. Wilder defeated Szpilka with a devastating ninth-round knockout to defend his WBC world title.

The current World Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury quickly stormed the ring and exchanged words with Wilder following his victory.

Fury said, "Any time! Any place! Anywhere. I'll fight you in your back garden.”

"You can run around like you're a preacher all you want but you step in the ring, I promise you I will baptise you," responded Wilder.

Security men stepped in to take control of the situation and later escorted Fury off.

Wilder later tweeted to Fury:

Upcoming fighters including Joseph Parker are clawing their way to a title shot for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Parker is scheduled to fight in his homeland in Samoa on the 29th of January to maintain his undefeated career.
