Wilder says he wants to unify the heavyweight division against Anthony Joshua or Andy Ruiz Jr after his bout with Tyson Fury in February.

Wilder retained his WBC belt and his unbeaten record by stopping Luis Ortiz in the seventh round of their rematch on Saturday night, and immediately looked ahead to staging two stellar fights.

“Next, we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” Wilder said. “The schedule is set for February so we’ll see.

“After that, I’m looking for a unification bout. I want one champion, one face, one name. He goes by the name of Deontay Wilder.

“I want a unification bout with the winner.

“The heavyweight division is too small to have so many belts lingering around. There should just be one champion. I’m the perfect man for that job.”

Joshua and Ruiz will be having a rematch on December 7 following a knock out win by Ruiz over Joshua.

The Nigerian born Joshua is hoping to regain the International Bixing Federation IBF, World Boxing Associatiin (WBA) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) titles from Ruiz Jr.

Before any undisputed title fight, Wilder aims to readdress his rivalry with Fury – they fought to a thrilling draw a year ago.
