    to fighting bums again now, or will he actually fight some top contenders for a change?

    If I was him I’d hope Wilder wants the 3rd (easy win) then beat Joshua and then Usyk. Then retire loaded. Most of the other heavyweights don’t deserve a look in. Whyte does but he’d get nowhere near Fury.

    He can’t. His 2019 opposition took the **** but the bigger picture was painted to perfection. If he’s serious about 3 and out, then that’s got to include Whyte and AJ

    He may have to face Whyte soon so I doubt he gets an easy first defence.

    Time isn't on his side. He will have 3 more mega-fights then retire. Joshua ( maybe twice ? ) Usyk/Whyte/could Klitschko be tempted ?

    31 is young for a heavyweight. We know he’s lived a bad life but there’s no signs yet of it catching up.

    Whyte is an easy first defence for Fury.

    I agree, he's in his prime. I'm just going by what he has said. He will retire 'soon'. Seeing some of the stars of the past last pm ( Hearns, Tyson, Holyfield ) l don't blame him. He has a beautiful wife & family. He's young & rich and has his health back

    Joshua tied up with Pulev.

    Wilder shouldn’t take the rematch, if he does it’s purely for the money.

    So I see the one and only..... Jarrell Miller next for Fury. Maybe take the show to New York?

    Fury did say he would give Whyte a shot if he beat Wilder and that it would be one of his 3 last fights. So maybe Whyte, then Joshua.

    Whyte, then Joshua, then retire and scatter the belts across the division, I can see that happening.

    I agree. I think he’ll do the same to be honest and fair enough. Not much left to achieve, even now. I just thought you meant he was going to HAVE to retire soon.

    I’m glad he fought Schwarz and Wallin in hindsight. The latter fight emphasised the need to make dramatic changes in his preparation, training and style.
