Fury controlled much of the fight only to be knocked down twice, including one in the 12th round that looked to be the deciding blow.

"Luis Ortiz @kingkongboxing is first then Tyson Fury @Tyson_Fury Next," Wilder said on Twitter.

Wilder, who knocked out Dominic Breazeale in May, added in a separate tweet: "All Contracts have been signed already‼️ it’s officially on."

Fury will take on Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on June 15.
