Speaking following his spell-binding win over Wilder inside the MGM Grand, Fury began to joke he would be having a quiet evening with a few bottles of water and perhaps a slice of pizza… before revealing his true intentions.
‘I might have a slice of pizza. I think i’ll just go home, have a couple of glasses of water and that’s it really… We’re going out tonight baby! Hakkasan!’ Fury told iFL TV with a booming laugh and a broad grin.

Continuing in his post-fight comments, Fury went on to poke fun at all those who had doubted him: ‘I told everybody I was going to knock him out and nobody listened. But here we are.
‘I knocked out a knock-out king and I can’t punch! I can’t crack an egg, can I?
‘Two feather dusters these are,’ Fury added, looking down at his hands with a grin.
‘I don’t remember anything, it was all a blur and that was it. I remember knocking him down a few times, hitting him with a body shot and knocking him down. It was what it was. It was a great fight and I lived up to the hype.
‘Every time I say something I always do, and I have done it.’
Fury’s promoter, the legendary Bob Arum, has said the ball now rests in Wilder’s court regarding a possible trilogy clash, due to a re-match clause which the ‘Gypsy King’ is happy to honour.
‘The question is directed to Deontay Wilder,’ said Arum.
‘He can opt out of a third now and get himself together and do it again next year in which case Tyson Fury will keep himself busy with other opponents. If he wants to go ahead, that’s what the contract says and we will honour that.’
Wilder later claimed he wanted to be allowed to continue and go out in a blaze of glory
