WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35KOs) says he's very proud of Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KOs) for coming out of the closet.

A few weeks ago, the WBA/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion did a controversial interview with IFL TV about possible fights with Wilder and IBF heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua and things got vulgar.

"I don't want their belts, but I'll let 'em fight me," Fury said ... "I'll bend 'em over and BOOM -- split them down the middle with this long d*ck. I'd rate Wilder over Joshua. Wilder's my man, 'til I get hold of him. Then he's gonna be my bitch."

Wilder took no offense with Fury's statements, but says he's not interested in his offer to have gay sex.

"A guy from TMZ was telling me that Fury was using all of these sexual slurs. He was really showing his true colors. He was coming out of the closet, he was. Nothing nothing wrong with coming out the closet. Ain't nothing wrong with someone liking the same gender. He was trying to say it without really saying it. He was using boxing terms that he wanted to have sex with me. No thank you Fury. I don't take offense to nothing. It's part of the business, it's part of promoting," Wilder said.

Fury’s long-awaited rematch with Wladimir Klitschko will take place at the Manchester Arena on Saturday 9th July.  The mega-fight will be broadcast exclusively live on HBO and BoxNation.

Wilder is back on July 16th, when he defends his title for the fourth time against Chris Arreola in Birmingham, Alabama.
