Deontay Wilder believes Tyson Fury doesn't want the rematch with him despite signing a contract

"If I was afraid of you I wouldn't have fought you after having three years out of the ring and beaten you in your own country - you had to rob me and give me a draw.

"Just get through your fight with Ortiz, do your own thing, stop using my name for relevance. You should be on 20 per cent, but I'm not, I'm giving you a fair share, because I'm a fair man.
