    It's the logical fight after the ending and outcome of the first. It makes both fighters a shed load of cash too. Winner faces AJ for undisputed in September. That's the ideal scenario for the heavyweight division.

    Such a great fight as highly unusually for a fighter Wilder carries the same power from the first to the last round. As for Fury hes one of the most skilful heavyweights in history, showed he can get up from Wilders bombs and boxed Wilders head off. I expect Fury to play with him again but the fight isnt over until the final bell and the result isnt certain until we know if the judges are on the take or not.

    Benson makes a good point here. I assume it was 50/50 last time.

    I wonder if Warren now holds out for purse bids to get the fight over here and in the UK. Would do a million plus buys here could get 70,000 in millennium stadium or try and take Hearns Wembley date and has a US broadcaster in ESPN who would love to get a Haymon fighter on their TV. If they sold the PPV for $25 also gives warren more to play with on the purse bid. And warren would love to give it the big mouth selling this fight as the true heavyweight champion in the UK.

    Don’t think Fury got a 50/50 split. Remember seeing some figures and Wilder got paid more than Fury. Can’t remember precise figures but the split looked like 65/35 so perhaps would be a better deal for Fury...

    Would be hilarious if it went to Purse bids and Hearn uses a massive chunk of that DAZN money!

    Fury holding all the cards now this is hilarious. Hope he uses this as leverage and gets 50/50 to fight Joshua. No way will Joshua and Hearn want the Wilder without the WBC on the line and that so that leaves only Fury left in a fight big enough for Wembley
