Deontay said that he wants to face the 6’9” Fury next followed by a big unificiation match against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko later in the year.
Deontay, 6’7”, is putting it on Fury to see if he’s interested in the fight, or if he prefers to face Wladimir for the title instead of him. Fury is Wladimir’s WBO mandatory challenger. However, you’ve got to figure that a Fury vs. Wilder fight would be a much bigger bout than Fury vs. Wladimir.
