Deontay Wilder believes Tyson Fury's cut was the worst he's seen since Vitali Klitschko's and he plans to target the 'Gypsy King's damaged eyebrow when they rematch in February.

Fury needed 47 stitches to heal the gaping wound above his eyelid. Wallin opened him up in the third round though the undefeated Brit survived the early scare by beating the Swede on points.

His Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and UK promoter Frank Warren have expressed concerns regarding Fury's cut, but the 31-year-old plans to honour his contract and face Wilder early next year.

And the American champion is eager to run it back with the "vulnerable" Fury.

"He's very vulnerable. When he gets hit on the chin, it's a wrap," he said.

"Otto Wallin was doing a great job up to that point, especially when he cut him over the eye. I was telling, I thought he was going to get a stoppage. It looked like it was three inches wide and two inches deep.

"That's the worst cut besides the Klitschko and Lennox fight. That was the worst cut I've seen in my life.

"I can't wait. I hope they heal well, and I can't wait to see Mr Fury.

"That's not my problem if he's ready or not. He signed the contract. That's his problem. He better get ready.

"No matter what he does, when he fights me, it's [the cut] is going to open right back up.

"I'm going to pop it right back open. He can get plastic surgery, duck tape or staples, Super Glu or Hot Glu, Cement Glu. S**t, he can go get some of that Flex Glu. It ain't even going to matter."

Fury has been handed a two-month medical suspension by Nevada State Athletic Commission and a plastic surgeon is on 'standby' should he need an operation ahead of his meeting with Wilder.
