Tyson Fury has agreed to a fight against the WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, and the date and venue will be announced next week, the promoter Frank Warren announced after the British former world champion beat Francesco Pianeta on a points decision in their fight in Belfast. Northern Ireland’s Carl Frampton then successfully defended his interim IBO featherweight title, stopping Australia’s Luke Jackson.

Fury beat his Italian opponent 100-90 on referee Steve Gray’s scorecard. Sections of the crowd present had booed at the fight’s conclusion. After Fury’s win Wilder climbed into the ring to join the 30-year-old victor and the American declared their proposed fight is “officially on”.

Fury then told him: “I’m knocking you the fuck out, boy.”

Warren added: “The fight’s on. The details will be revealed but the fight’s on.”

Wilder also promised to deliver a knockout. The 32-year-old said: “It is one thing that Tyson Fury has never had. He had many belts, but he’s never had the WBC belt. And if he ever thinks about having this belt, he better wake up and apologise to me because he’ll never have this.

“I can’t wait to fight you because I am going to knock you out, I promise you. You’ve never been knocked out but you’re going to feel the experience, what it feels to get hit by the Bronze Bomber.”

Fury responded by saying: “Listen, you can’t knock out what you can’t hit. This man [Pianeta] couldn’t land a blow on me tonight.”

Jackson then made a similarly limited impression on Frampton who won via a ninth-round stoppage when the Australian’s corner threw in the towel as he struggled to defend himself. His left eye was swollen shut by the time he was put down in the eighth by a powerful left hook to the body. With little to defend himself from, Frampton began to target the Australian’s head with both hands.

After Frampton’s victory the IBF featherweight champion, Josh Warrington, got in the ring and Warren said: “We are now going to make the dream fight. These two guys in the ring together is a dream fight for the fans and we are going to make it happen. It will happen, definitely this year.”

Frampton said: “Hopefully he can make the fight. I’m not for a second saying I’m a world champion because I have this interim title. Josh is a world champion and I would love to be a world champion again.

“That fight is the easiest to make. He is here, so he’s keen, and I’m as keen as mustard, so let’s do it.”

Warrington said: “I’m looking to get the fight – for me, I beat [Lee] Selby and I’m still ranked behind Carl, so I’d like to be No 1 for Christmas.”

Frampton added of his first fight at Windsor Park: “The atmosphere was special and I knew it was going to be. The crowd are fantastic and I owe them everything.”
