Tyson Fury claims Deontay Wilder is 'totally shot' to pieces and should retire from boxing

But he insists that he would be happy to give him 'another good hiding' if he fancies making a few extra quid!

Fury, 33, spectacularly knocked out Wilder, 36, in the pair's epic trilogy fight last year, but the latter recently confirmed his plans to return to the ring.

The Gypsy King - who retired after beating Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium - reckons that Wilder should also follow suit and join him in retirement.

Asked if Wilder has still got what it takes to become a world champion once again, Fury told Queensberry Promotions' official YouTube channel: “I think he’s a very dangerous man.

“I think he’ll knock anybody out if he hits them in the face.

“And in 12 rounds, guess what? He’s gonna hit them in the face.

Tyson Fury scored back-to-back knockout victories over Deontay Wilder last year

“42-0 he was when I beat him, with 40 KOs – everybody he ever fought he knocked out, even the one that took him the distance, he knocked him out in a rematch.

“So I think he’s a very dangerous opponent, but I don’t know what’s left in his tank.

“You don’t have three [fights] with the best fighter on the planet and come out of the other side to tell a great story and go on afterwards to win world titles.

“He has been absolutely destroyed mentally, physically and emotionally.

“I’d say he’s a wreck at the moment.

“He’s had a cracked jaw, a cracked skull, been knocked out cold twice.

“It’s a tough comeback for him, it all depends on what he has left.

“I wouldn’t like to see him carrying on, I know he doesn’t need the money, he’s made a lot of money.

“I’d like to see him retire because whether he wins a few more fights or he goes in there, he’s totally shot, he starts losing, he breaks up his legacy.

“At the moment he’s lost to the best fighter of the generation and there’s no disrespect in that, there’s no shame in that.

“But if he comes back and starts getting wiped the floor with because he’s shot to bits, that’d be disgraceful.

“However, if he does want another good hiding, give me a call.”
