He can still make a decent payday by fighting Joshua. Or he could come to the UK and fight Chisora. I think that fight would sell in London.
I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. He took his time, was in no danger, used his jab more and was clearly shaking off ring rust. Were people claiming Fury was done and should retire when he was toying with Seferi? I think he needs another tune up before taking on someone more durable like Ruiz or Mille.
Realistically he'd have lost to AJ, too, just for more money. His team did an incredible job getting him as far as they did, managed to manufacture him into a position where he was really highly hyped despite beating almost nobody noteworthy... And they made plenty of correct calls along the way - staying miles away from Wlad, not chasing Parker for unification, staying well away from Povetkin (having gotten lucky to escape him), staying away from Whyte, etc. It's also easy to forget that Fury looked truly awful - it looked for all the world like an easy and safe way to finally get a decent name on his resume without too much risk of exposing him... And Fury in #1 was in terrible shape, they just underestimated his recovery. I don't Deontays management deserves any criticism at all, in all honesty.
Wilder is absolutely shot and l'm sure Hearn is already excitedly making moves to match Joshua with him. Then Hearn will be claiming to anyone who will listen, that Wilder is 'still the most dangerous man on the planet.' There's a sucker born every minute in this game.
After this last fight, who wants to bet Fury comes out of "retirement" and we get Fury-Wilder IV? That's 4 in Roman numbers, not that either guy doesn't need an IV.

I don't think it's really a comeback... At least, not in the sense of rebuilding to get back in the mix with belts - those days are gone and not coming back. It's just too late in the day - he's too old, he needs multiple low level fights like this to rebuild more confidence but he doesn't have time for it... Besides which, it's not like he ever had a particularly high bar to work back towards and you can't manufacture a fighter again after losing so badly against everyone serious he ever fought. I'm not convinced the Joshua fight ever happens - I can't see why Wilder would've ducked it for so long only to take it for much less money now that he's losing even the punchers chance (which was all he ever had) of getting through. Realistically... I think he plods through a couple more of these D grade bums before finally accepting it's time to stick the fork in.
It wouldn't have surprised me if he had if Wilder had gone in instead of Joshua... Limited or not, Francis has a good chin and he'd put on pressure Wilder doesn't deal well with.
