Apparently indicating his desire to fight Nigerian-born British boxer, Anthony Joshua, man of the boxing moment, Tyson Fury threw a psychological teaser at Joshua when he flashed a mouth-guard in Nigerian colours before silencing American Deontay Wilder on Saturday.
\nMeanwhile, talk sport reports that the extent of Tyson Fury\u2019s domination of Deontay Wilder has been revealed as the official scorecards from the judges have been disclosed.
\nThe \u2018Gypsy King\u2019 put on a beautiful and brutal display of boxing brilliance to wrestle the WBC heavyweight championship away from Wilder in Las Vegas.
\nAfter dropping the previously unbeaten fighter in the third and fifth rounds,\u00a0Fury literally ran through the American with a series of brutal combinations\u00a0and co-trainer Mark Breland threw in the towel in the seventh round.

Fury pounding away at Wilder<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nFury appeared to taunt heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua by bearing a Nigeria-themed gumshield during his seven round thrashing of Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
\nThe \u2018Gypsy King\u2019 added the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight titles to his lineal championship, twice knocking the American down.
\nEventually, Mark Breland in the corner for the \u2018Bronze Bomber\u2019 decided to\u00a0throw in the towel\u00a0after watching his fighter take a beating at the hands of the Brit.
\nHaving taken the only belt which eluded him from his previous world heavyweight title reign \u2013 fans are waiting for\u00a0an undisputed title clash\u00a0against WBA, IBF and WBO title-holder Joshua.
\nAnd Fury appeared to goad his domestic rival during the contest by wearing a mouth guard with \u2018Nigeria\u2019 scribbled on, which appeared to be in reference to AJ\u2019s Nigerian heritage.
\nJoshua currently is in Nigeria at the moment and is extremely proud of his origins, proudly bearing a tattoo of the African country on his shoulder. Speaking to talkSPORT on Sunday morning, Fury\u2019s co-promoter\u00a0Frank Warren warned rival Eddie Hearn to scrap Joshua\u2019s proposed bout with Kubrat Pulev in June.
\nFury dropped the Bronze Bomber twice before the fight was stopped in the seventh
\n\u201cWell I was saying all along; let\u2019s make it a 50-50 deal. I never had any problem with that all the way through.
\n\u201cHe was never serious about that fight, now they NEED Tyson Fury. But let\u2019s get where we are; Deontay Wilder has 30 days to invoke a rematch.
\n\u201cIn the meantime, Anthony Joshua has to fight Pulev. They\u2019ve more or less agreed to it and I\u2019m led to believe they\u2019re going to make an announcement on that next week.
\n\u201cHe [Hearn] better pull him out of that Pulev fight because I am a bit worried that if Pulev hits him on the chin he might stop him. In that year he has talked about, Tyson\u2019s stock has dramatically risen.\u201d
