WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34KOs) can't wait to get his hands on Tyson Fury for a unification bout.

Last November, Fury won a twelve round unanimous decision over Klitschko to capture the WBC/IBF/IBO/WBA world titles. The IBF belt was stripped from Fury for failing to make a mandatory defense against Vyacheslav Glazkov, who faces Charles Martin tomorrow night for the vacant belt.

Fury (25-0, 18KOs) has a rematch lined up with Klitschko in the coming months, but he also wants a showdown with Wilder.

Also tomorrow night, Wilder is making a third defence of his title against Polish contender Artur Szpilka at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Provided the two of them are able to get come away from their upcoming defenses with their titles intact, Wilder wants a unification showdown to happen by the end of the year.

"Me and Tyson have been promoting our fight for four years now. I think when that fight is officially done, that's already a sold out crowd - I can see it now," Wilder told Sky Sports News HQ. "Sometimes I visualise and daydream about that fight happening and I'm looking forward to coming to see my friends in the UK for that."

"He has stated that once he fights Klitschko again and beats him he's going to fight me and I want him to promise me that - 2016 we will get this on once and for all and give the fans what they want to see. We are both in a position now where we are both champions, we have titles, and I'm looking to unify the division. I don't know what his goal is but it is the perfect time for it. If any time is perfect, 2016 is the perfect year.

"It is exciting times for the heavyweight division. I can feel the fire, the flames, the excitement of the heavyweight division and I'm excited to be a part of it and making it even bigger."
