Not for me thanks. I had Fury winning the first fight and last night was a one sided massacre. I’d rather see Tyson grant Whyte his long awaited mandatory now and then go all out for the undisputed fight.
It'll be sad to see Haymon and Finkel cash out with the trilogy but that's the name of the game I suppose. Wilder will be 35 and coming off a bad beating. It's a horrible fight for him.
Agreed. Joshua is the fight everyone wants but if that can’t happen then I’d be more interested in Whyte, Usyk, or even someone like Miller. These are the type of fighters missing from Tyson’s CV and hopefully now that he’s not got too long left he can start fighting them. A Wilder rematch feels as necessary as Lewis Tyson II.
The 3rd fight will happen this year. Wilder will want a chance of revenge, he will believe he can do better in a 3rd fight. There is a lot of money in that fight for both men. Only an AJ fight could possibly offer as much and he is busy. It is not a fight I want to see. As far as I am concerned Fury is 2-0 vs Wilder.
It will take Wilder a year, maybe more to get over what happened to him, especially mentally. If his management team have their fighter’s well being as paramount, they will avoid a trilogy. No doubt money may be a factor but Wilder must know he cannot beat Fury.
Yeah, not really interested in it. Feel the same after Joshua vs Ruiz 2. I had no desire to see that again either. It would be an exciting fight, but if Fury really only wants 2 more fights I'd want to see him take on Joshua and Whyte (who deserves a shot). If not Whyte then another fantasy fight would be Usyk.
Well its gonna happen. Not that anyone wants to see it. Fury says belts mean nothing to him so just drop the strap and go fight AJ Let whyte give wilder another pasting for the belt. Then whyte vs the winner of AJ Fury Job done
Yep I’m with the majority here it doesn’t appeal to me either now. Would much rather the AJ fight obviously or even Whyte
If Wilder doesn't activate the clause ( which I hope he doesnt) then surley Fury will have to fight AJ or Whyte . It would be a disgrace if Fury ends fighting someone else.
Finkel and Haymon will force it. They signed that trilogy with money at the forefront of their intentions. Trilogy may actually not sell as well as rematch because the uncertainty of the outcome is lost but it's still a huge money fight. From a boxing point of view, I think it's an awful fight for Wilder. He looked in a bad way last night. The look of pain on his face throughout. Amazing that he hung in there. However, that version of Fury with that gameplan looks an impossible job for Wilder. Surely his team can see this? What's worse is he won't allow the team to throw the towel in next time so it could be an even worse beatdown. Imagine Fury's confidence for the trilogy and he has a winning formula now with the diet and Sugar Hill/Andy Lee so you can bet he'll be every bit as good if not better after spending more time working on his technical ability. We may see a clean KO. Fury said himself he knows he can improve his punching further. He wasn't entirely happy with his performance.
No need, Wilder lost the first but it was left to the bent cards, he got absolutely destroyed in the second. Notably, in both fights Wilder spent large portions of them looking completely lost and out of ideas, he just didn't have the skillset to adapt whereas Fury was comfortable trying different things with success.
I think there would be an appetite for a third fight if it was delayed and Wilder starched a couple of fighters in the meantime. He’s very dangerous, and let’s be honest, in them first 2 rounds despite getting chinned a few times, he still found a home for that right hand a couple of times but thankfully Fury was moving backwards. It only takes one clean shot, nothing has changed. I would obviously rather see Fury v Joshua or Whyte, however, I wouldn’t dismiss Wilder as a threat now. I think he chins everyone else to be honest.
Wilder should retire. From round one he looked old. Even before the knockdowns I was thinking he messed up not taking the dazn money for Joshua which was more than last night.
