Hughie Fury ready to face Deontay Wilder in March

Hughie Fury says he will be ready to face Deontay Wilder in March should the WBC heavyweight champion choose him as his next opponent.

Hughie Fury has suggested that he would accept a fight with Deontay Wilder should the WBC heavyweight champion choose to face him in March.

Wilder is currently recovering from injury but he is expected to return just after the New Year before fighting either Alexander Povetkin or Bermane Stiverne, who are trying to becoming mandatory challenger for the American's world title.

However, Fury has indicated that he hopes to become the first man to defeat the knockout specialist if he is offered the opportunity to go to the United States to face him in his next defence.


Fury - who is undefeated in 20 fights - is only ranked at number 26 in the WBC ratings but he could potentially progress up the rankings with a meaningful victory should he fight in December.
