Tyson Fury has told Deontay Wilder his time is up in the sport.
‘The Gypsy King’ shared an epic trilogy of fights with the hard-hitting American.
But, in recent times Wilder has looked a shadow of his former self suffering back-to-back defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
Many in the sport think Wilder should retire including Fury.

He said: “Being truthful, I’d like to see poor old Deontay retire from boxing.
“Obviously he lost the three fights to me. We took a lot of years off of each other’s lives.
“That war that ended in the 11th round by knockout, that takes a lot out your tank and you don’t recover from fights like that.
“Between me and Wilder in our trilogy there were ten knockdowns. It takes a lot out of a fighter.
“Even when he’s come back and had a couple of fights since against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, he’s only a shadow of his former glory.
“The only thing left of Deontay is his name. And that’s it. So I’d like to see him retire for sure before he does damage to himself.”
