American heavyweight Deontay Wilder has suggested that Tyson Fury should fight David Haye.

The Briton said that Wilder would have to prove himself against fellow American Kevin Johnson before thinking about setting up a fight with him.

The 27-year-old told World Boxing News: "Tyson Fury is jealous and scared to fight me. The only way he can express himself is to do it by saying things about me as he knows I am a dangerous fighter and I will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.

"First of all, Fury doesn't dictate who I fight. I could say why doesn't he take the challenge and fight David Haye?

"Kevin Johnson is not the best heavyweight in America because I am. As I said I'll fight anybody, anywhere, anyplace, any race. Let's see if he does as David Haye is a great fighter and also a great guy."

Wilder needed just 70 seconds to knock out Audley Harrison in a fight earlier this year.
