Tyson Fury is "almost sure" Deontay Wilder will fight him for a third time despite destroying the champion inside seven rounds to claim the WBC heavyweight title.
The Briton produced a stunning performance to beat Wilder, 14 months on from their controversial draw in which the majority of observers believed Fury should have won on points.
Fury had vowed to take the fight to the American and did just that, flooring the champion twice and completely dominating the action before the towel came in from Wilder's corner to confirm the 31-year-old as the winner.
The conclusive nature of the victory cast doubt over the value of Wilder's rematch clause, with Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn immediately suggesting a unification fight against Fury needs to happen.
The only other bout the 34-year-old has not won was the first meeting with Fury in 2018, which ended in a controversial draw after Wilder was outboxed by his opponent.
Wilder said: "I make no excuses tonight, I got a lot of complications.
"I will come back and be stronger the next time around.
"This is what big-time boxing is all about, the best must fight the best. I appreciate all the fans that came out tonight and supported the show."
