How they can negotiate for fight in 2019 with Joshua, if before that there is a fight with T.Fury? And odds are 50/50.Maybe that one with T.Fury wont happen in reality?
I know this is a wild idea, but Fury could use on more tune up. He should volunteer to fight for the vacant belt with Oquendo. He would easily win, and still be in good shape for a December bout with Wilder. Never happen, but why not?
