Tyson Fury claims he is "ready for war" with Deontay Wilder after the British heavyweight survived two severe cuts in his weekend win over Otto Wallin.
Fury needed 47 stitches following the Las Vegas bout, which saw Wallin take his rival to 12 rounds before the Briton eventually secured a unanimous points decision victory.
The 31-year-old former world heavyweight champion was taken to the University Medical Center of South Nevada with a gaping gash over his right eye and another smaller one on the eyelid.
Speaking to BBC Sport before leaving Las Vegas, Fury said: "I went to the hospital, had a few stitches, went home and had an early night.
"Then I've got up, gone to the casino, won five grand, had a few beers and now I'm going to have a few more beers."
"It's not just the fight, it's the training and sparring. He has to be 100 percent right."
