    Well that sets up the massive clash we have all been waiting for Tyson fury vs Oscar Rivas winner fights Pulev.

    Also wilder vs breazeale then kownacki and aj will fight Whyte later in the year, I hate boxing politics.

    So much politics in the HW division.

    Even Joshua vs Whyte couldn't be made.

    Do you think it happens? I think there will be some snag or other and we won't see purse bids. Showtime, Haymon and Sulaiman seem pretty tight to me?

    I think things got a lot more complicated for everyone, but if the HW division does begin to take off in the US Hearn is likely to benefit more than anyone?

    The Fury-Wilder-Joshua fights won’t happen in the next 2 years

    They all went on the Mayweather-Pacquiao route

    The make couple of millions more is still more important than give the fans what they wanna see.

    It will cost him the most. If you look back 18-months he owned the entire HW division. Now it's divided in three and the two opponents with which he was hoping to make the most money - Wilder and Fury - are no longer beholden to Matchroom money. Yes, he's still has the biggest slice of the cake but until Wilder fought Fury to spark the current chain of events he had the whole cake to himself. Damn, he'd even baked it...

    If Fury would beat Wilder & that would make him the #1 fighter in the world.

    Joshua vs contenders will make more money than Wilder or Fury vs contenders.

    I think Whyte will leave Matchroom after his next fight & join PBC & fight Wilder at the end of the year.

    Joshua will fight Usyk if he beats Povetkin. Fury probably fight Parker if he beats Chisora.

    Wonderful acquisition for OG Bob and the teaming up of Big Frank, also a legit OG, and Bob has almost got me tearing up. That is absolutely huge! Two titans of the game coming together to join forces for the betterment of the sport. Add Fury to the mix and it's a holy trinity. Bob is Sergio Leone, Big Frank is Ennio Morricone and Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury is Clint Eastwood circa '64-'66. Sheer perfection.

    I am more interested in seeing Pupev vs Fury than Fury vs Wilder 2. I cant see Fury wanting the fight after what happend to Hughie

    Wilder will continue to fight out of shape fighters.

    You guys have to remember that Wilder and Joshua don't have exclusive deals with Showtime and DAZN. No reason why Wilder can't fight Fury on a co promoted card on ESPN.

    Now does this make rematch easier to make, no clearly not but after the way Fury was robbed in the first fight he's clearly looking to make links with someone who knows which palms to grease and how to work the US boxing system in his favour so he doesn't get robbed in the rematch again.

    It complicates the negotiations for sure because it means Wilder will need to fight on a non Showtime card where his promoter isn't in complete control of everything and means Fury is more likely to get a fair decision should it go to the cards as it will genuinely be a co-promoted event and not a Haymon/Finkel promotion with Warren just tagging along for show. Will Wilder want to do that knowing he only kept his belts last time with the help of some very dubious officiating.
