Tyson Fury insists his rematch with Deontay Wilder “is not a racial war” and played down any notion of that on Thursday.

“We’re all human beings, it doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, pink or green, we all share the same blood.
“This isn’t a racial war between blacks and whites, it’s a fight between the two highest performing heavyweights on the planet, there’s nothing racial about this fight. I have nothing against Wilder as a man and neither does he against me, but we want to give it to each other.”
