John Fury warns Deontay Wilder he could be killed in fourth fight with son Tyson

John Fury has claimed Deontay Wilder could be "killed" if he earns a fourth fight with his heavyweight champion son, Tyson.

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has called a halt to his previous plans to retire and will return to the ring this weekend against Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Should the 'Gypsy King' pick up another win, a whole host of fights could be available in 2023, including an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

His next mandatory defence could come against former three-time opponent Wilder, who may earn a fourth clash with a win over Andy Ruiz Jr in the ordered WBC title eliminator. But Fury Sr believes his son's long-term rival should avoid the renewed battle and explore other options to regain a title.
