JOHN FURY is worried that his heavyweight champion son Tyson could KILL rival Deontay Wilder if they fight for a fourth time.
Tyson and Wilder fought three times for the WBC world title between 2018 and 2021.
The first fight ended a draw despite many feeling Fury should’ve been the only man to have his hand raised.
Tyson made sure to get the job done in the next two fights, though, winning both with brutal knockouts.
A unification bout with WBA, IBF, and WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk is expected to take place later this year, but reports suggest secret talks have been held with Wilder over a fourth fight at Wembley IF negotiations fall through.
Dad John believes a fourth meeting would be a bad idea, fearing son Tyson could KILL Wilder.
John told Freebets.com: “I’m worried about him fighting Wilder because I’m afraid of him killing Wilder.
“Wilder’s got a cracked skull, his skull is cracked like an egg.
“That kind of thing can’t be repaired so if Tyson hits him again he could kill him.
“So I’ve said ‘unless you want a funeral on your hands and the death of Deontay Wilder keep from him’.

” He’s beat him three times, massacred him each time.
“He beat him [in the controversial draw] when he’d just lost eight stone and been out of the ring for three years.
“He poses no threat, the only danger he poses is Tyson killing him.
“That danger and smoke, we don’t want, let him go faff about with these blokes he can hit once and they’ll lay on the floor and carry on, he’s no good to Tyson.
“I don’t want to go to my grave knowing that my son’s killed somebody.”
