Deontay Wilder wants to come and fight Tyson Fury in the United Kingdom and will show 'no mercy, no pity or no sorrow'.
The WBC heavyweight world champion also labelled the British star a 'big act' following their face-off in the ring following his ninth-round knockout of Artur Szpilka in Brooklyn, New York.
Fury (25-0-KO18) climbed into the ring and called out Wilder (36-0-KO35) straight after the fight, labelling him 'a bum' and demanding a unification fight.
When I step in the ring with Tyson there will be no mercy, no pity, no sorrow.
Sky Sports caught up with the American a few minutes later and he made it clear he wants to do some serious damage to Fury in his own backyard.
"I just think Tyson's just a big act," he told Sky Sports.
"I don't take it personally or seriously at all. This is great promotion but I hope the fight lives up to the hype when it's time for it to happen.
"I've been waiting on him for a long time and they know where to find me.
"When the time comes - and the time will come - he'd better be ready because I will be looking to seek, kill and destroy him - and I do mean real bad. Hurting him, real, real, real, real bad."
Szpilka received medical attention and was stretchered from the ring following the vicious right that ended his challenge in the ninth-round.
Wilder was respectful, making sure the Polish fighter was OK following the finish and even Fury waited ringside before climbing in.
He initially tried to take the microphone from MC Jimmy Lennon Jnr to start the latest war of words, but Wilder wants the fight before the end of the year.
Fury is set to face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch in his next fight while Alexander Povetkin is the mandatory challenger to Wilder's WBC belt.
"For Szpilka my heart goes out to him and his family but when I step in the ring with Tyson there will be no mercy, no pity, no sorrow and when I do lay him down on the canvas and look over him I will tell him... I just can't wait," he said.
"I've got my mandatory to handle and once he's finished Klitschko, let's make the fight. Why not?
"I would like it towards [the end of] this year. I like to continue fighting. I don't like to sit there and wait, so don't make me wait. I'm ready for that.
"I'd come to the UK for it. I love the UK. They are some of the best fans in the world and I am looking forward to it."
