He signed a 5 fight contract with German TV. So that means he's at least gonna fight five more times begining with Fury. After Fury I think he fights Glazkov Wilder/Povetkin Ortiz and then ends his career with his toughest challenge ever in Anthony Joshua. ***Update*** WLAD LOSES TO FURY!!!
Rumor is Wilder is fighting Glazkov in January. I think Wilder will try for a spring matchup with Wlad if he can get past the light punching Czar. However I think Wlad will make him fight his mandatory against Povetkin and face the winner of that fight a year from now. So I think it will be Fury-TBA- winner of Wilder Povetkin. The question will be who is the TBA during the summer. He could go with the Jennings/Oritz winner? Or the Teper vs Helenius winner? Or Briggs? Wlad will have good choice of opponents I think Joshua and Parker are not ready.
Parker is out of the question but for Joshua he'll be ready in 2017. I don't think Wilder will chose Glazkov tbh, he'll likely fight Arreola or another underserving fighter. Wlad should make him fight Povetkin, then fight him if he wins or rematch Povetkin. At this stage I think all Wlad is thinking about is facing his mandatories and unifying, as he should.
Well two reasons, Wilder is much easier to beat I'm sure Haymon would pay him a decent amount. Though I think it's moot because Wilder won't choose him.
Business first. ...he will lose to fury. ..then get a second box office fight doing double the numbers and winning his belts back. ..2fights out the way.....parker wilder. ...then tge big obe against aj...smashing all heavyweight opv records
From Wilder's perspective I see him making this fight because he needs a more credible opponent than his first two title defenses. Also he needs someone who draws since the bout is in Brooklyn and Glazkov has a solid local fan base. Three it will remove Wlad's mandatory from the ledger and I think Wilder is going to try to avoid his mandatory (Povetkin) and shoot for unification. Why Glazkov does it. Quite simply his team feels that Wilder is very beatable. It's a far easier match than facing Wlad. Should he win- he will make much more money in a unification match with Wlad than what he would earn as a mandatory.
Good point. However, in his contract with HBO it stipulates that one of his fights must be on US soil. So I would not rule out Jennings/Ortiz winner yet either.
This fight with Fury is his last fight contracted with HBO. He already fought once in the US in his second contrated fight.
I thought his hbo contract was renewed recently after he was extended by RTL in Germany. sorry if I'm wrong. If his HBO contract is expired I think it would favor Wilder trying to cut a deal for the next fight.
