Should Wilder win, he would be in line for a planned rematch with Fury - which is being targeted for an early date in February 2020.

"There are two men in a fight. Wilder has to get through his fight first injury free and even win," Fury said to PA Sport. "I think he should come through, but Luis Ortiz is a dangerous customer and is not to be overlooked or underestimated. For four or five rounds he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world and he is a 6ft 4 southpaw who can punch hard."

Fury believes that his recent fights in Las Vegas, along with his WWE appearances, have made him a bigger star in the United States than Wilder, who the 'Gypsy King' believes is lacking a personality.

Fury will make his WWE debut on October 31, when he takes part in a pro wrestling match against Braun Strowman in Saudi Arabia. Fury has been training for several weeks at the WWE's Performance Center in Florida.

"I have already got more American fans than Deontay Wilder. For whatever reasons Deontay Wilder is not popular in America and people don't like him," Fury said.

"He screams 'bomb squad' a lot and pretends to have a personality, but really he doesn't and there is no depth to him. He has got no substance, he is a loud mouth and screams 'bomb squad' and that is it.

"Behind that there is no intellect, he comes out with random things that don't make sense. I am a trash talker, but sometimes I struggle to put together what he is talking about."
