Wilder said: “After this fight, I’m looking forward to the rematch with Fury.
“Then after I knock Fury out I’m looking forward to the winner of Joshua – Ruiz.”
Wilder and Joshua circled each other for almost two years before the Brit star was stunned on his US debut against Ruiz, losing by seventh round stoppage.

Wilder added: “Hopefully it’s Ruiz because if Joshua get it, I don’t think it’s going to be unification bout.
“But if Ruiz get it [the win], being that we’re in the same stable, it’ll be an easier fight to make.
“It’ll be the one that people say we finally have a unification in the heavyweight division and it will be Deontay Wilder.”
