Deontay Wilder reckons he has 'ended Tyson Fury career' after watching the British fighter labour to a victory over Otto Wallin.
Heavyweight Fury suffered a cut above his right eye in the third round before eventually managing a points victory over the Swede -after going the distance.
Fury called out Wilder after the fight saying: "I want you next, bum," as he named a February 22 date for their awaited rematch.
Fury and Wilder couldn't be separated in their original fight as it was called a draw, but Fury thinks his impact on the Gypsy King, who was left on the canvas in the 12th round of their December 2018 bout, has had a lasting affect on him.
"Anyone who saw this fight will understand and recognise that he’s [Fury] not the same fighter, this is what I do to them - I end careers," Wilder told Barbershop Conversations.
“I’m the baddest man on planet, he’s not the same fighter at all, I gave him a concussion.
"He’s done and I can’t wait.
"I cannot wait, oh my god, he didn’t even have the best of me, we had the best of Fury.
"I keep telling Fury himself, if you really look deep at his whole situation, the mental health, that’s the story they sold, and still selling, that’s the only thing that he can hold on to tight and claim to, there’s nothing else.
“I can’t wait for this fight because the rematch is going to be so much different because I’ve been in there before for one and for two I’m [going] to be at my best, at my most healthiest.
“Otto Wallin put up a good fight. I was most impressed with Wallin when he cut Fury open.
"When you cut a guy open with that deep of a cut, two inches long, or longer, he even at one time tried to grab the boy [Fury] eye and tried to pull it out, I thought 's***', there you go, that’s what you got to do, put them in a headlock, put the sweat up in the eye.
“I f***** Fury up, I can’t wait, bad intentions, bad blood, he’s going to need more than that Gypsy Voodoo doll, more than that Gypsy magic when he get in the ring with me.
“It’s definitely going to be a short night I’m going to make sure of it."
