And the Gypsy King was shocked by his revelation.

Fury, 34, ripped the WBC heavyweight title away from the American in their February 2020 rematch after stopping him in the seventh round.

He then brutally knocked the Alabama banger out in their epic trilogy encounter after the pair hit the deck five times between them in October.

And it appears that Wilder's aggressive and explosive style has caught the eye of Fury's son.

The unbeaten Mancunian then said: "What do you want to be when you're older?"

His kid answered: "A boxer."

Hoping he wants to follow in his footsteps, Fury then asked: "Which boxer are you going to be like?"

Breaking his dad's heart, Prince said: "Deontay Wilder."

A shocked Fury then quipped: "No way! He's a big dosser."

Fury, who had hung up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte, also took to social media to state the Manchester United players should join him in retirement.

The Red Devils were thrashed 4-0 by the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium in May 2022 to officially end their faint top four hopes.

However, much like the Red Devils under Erik ten Hag, Fury's career resurrected.
