Promoter Don King reveals that he would be keen for current WBC champion Bermane Stiverne to face Tyson Fury later in 2015 providing that the Haitian can beat Deontay Wilder.

Promoter Don King has revealed that there is a "great possibility" that Bermane Stiverne could defend his WBC title against Tyson Fury later in 2015.

Stiverne makes the first defence of his world title against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday night, but providing that the Haitian can overcome the knockout specialist, King has stated that he would be happy to see his fighter face Fury in England.

The American told BBC Radio 5 live: "If Bermane wins, I'll see you in the UK with Tyson Fury.

"That's a great possibility. Tyson Fury has done a great job. It's something that everybody would want to see."

Fury is currently mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko's WBO title, but he must defeat Christian Hammer on February 28 to remain in line for a shot at the unified champion.
