"Let's just say I was the champion of my era," Fury said after the fight.
“I can only beat the best and I have done that. I am the best fighter of my era, I am the (best) fighter of the (present) generation.
“I actually feel sorry for everyone who has to go against me. In the dressing room I'm not nervous.
"I feel sorry for them because they are up against the (best) fighters of the (current) generation."

In the fight against Wilder, Fury kissed the canvas twice in the fourth round. But he got up and knocked out his opponent in the third and 10th rounds. And made Wilder unmoved in round 11.
Attention now turns to Fury's next plans. But he was reluctant to give any comment after this victory.
"We'll see," he said after the fight. "I just got a decent rest."
"Before I start thinking about fighting other fighters, I'm going to enjoy this win. Tonight was one of my biggest wins.
"I'm the fierce dog in this division."
Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte, assuming his potential opponent doesn't lose to Otto Wallin later this month.
