Tyson Fury has promised to deliver further punishment to Deontay Wilder when the pair eventually meet in the ring for a third time.
The ‘Gypsy King’ produced a ruthless performance to become WBC heavyweight world champion and in doing so, is the just the second heavyweight to have held all four recognised belts - the only other being Riddick Bowe.
Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after Mark Breland threw the towel in.
Bob Arum had revealed the trilogy was expected to take place on July 18, although it looks likely to take place later this year as the coronavirus crisis continues to take lives around the world.
Fury is looking forward to when that date comes and told Good Morning Britain that he never gets ‘bored of beating’ the American.
“I’ll be obliged to give him a bit more," he told ITV's Good Morning Britain.
“You never get bored of beating Deontay Wilder, obviously. It’s one of those things you take great pride out of doing.
“I really did what I said I was going to do. Not many people, in boxing especially, say something then do exactly what they said they were going to do.
“I was proud of that performance. I’m looking forward to getting this coronavirus out of the way, getting the world back on track and getting back to my job.”
Coronavirus isolation 'difficult'
Each day, Fury is doing working out on Instagram live in a bid to keep the public motivated in desperate times.The 31-year-old has previously spoken about how vital exercise is to helping his mental health.
He added: “It’s quite difficult because obviously I’m not allowed to go to gyms and train.
“However, I have been doing, every morning at 9am, a workout video live with the world on Instagram.
“We do a 50 minute workout, it really helps stay in shape, and it helps many, many people joining in from around the world.
“I’m very grateful I can help people with their fitness and their mental health troubles in these lockdown times.”
