WHO-SA? Tyson Fury mocks Wilder insisting rematch is OFF as rival ‘is not well known in America’

Bronze Bomber had slammed Brit for shunning their £50million fight to take an interim bout

TYSON FURY goaded Deontay Wilder by telling the American: I’ll rematch you when you’re recognised in your own 

The taunt came in response to the Bronze Bomber’s scathing tweet after the Brit pulled out of a second fight worth £50million to take an interim bout instead.

Wilder, 33, had fumed: “You sorry muthaf*****. You requested a warm-up fight first. I don’t blame you though, I probably would too if I saw my brains splashed all over the canvas.”

Fury, 30, responded: “Get your self a bit more well known in America first kid & then I’ll give you another chance!

“I already beat you & the world knows it & so do you😉 must be hard for you that a British fighter has taken over the USA 🇺🇸😉 watch me whippppp #ONLYINAMERICA @espn”

It is a huge U-turn for Fury, who claimed he only wanted to fight Wilder after their controversial draw in December.

Fury had said: “I ain’t interested in fighting number ten, number eight, number three, number two — I only want the best. So I want Deontay Wilder next.”

But Fury, 30, now wants to build his profile across the pond first after signing an £80m 

The WBC has been notified that Fury is lining up an interim fight in May or June.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said: “It feels like someone let all the air out of the balloon.
