Tyson Fury appeared to take a dig at British rival Anthony Joshua with his choice of gum shield against Deontay Wilder.
The Gypsy King won the WBC heavyweight title from the Bronze Bomber in seven rounds.
After knocking down the American twice, referee Kenny Bayless waved off the fight after Wilder’s team intervened.
Talk has quickly turned to who the Mancunian will fight next, with Anthony Joshua the favourite.
And Fury may have already hinted at a bout with the IBO, IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.
The Gypsy King was snapped wearing a gum shield with the word ‘Nigeria’ on it, the country where AJ’s family are originally from.

But Fury did not give too much away in the post-fight press conference.
“I want to enjoy the spoils of war first and my after-fight party at Hakkasan, the Gypsy King is taking over,” he said.
“Deontay Wilder will need time to recover. I think he will want to take the rematch, so I’m pretty sure we will do it again.
“If not, these are the people (his promoters) who will decide and what ever they want to do against whoever.”
