If Wilder beats Fury, Wilder will become the Lineal World Heavyweight Champion and two-time WBC Heavyweight Champion. He will have beaten every man he's faced as a pro. If he knocks out Fury, he'll have knocked out every man he's faced as a pro. His next fight will be against Dillian Whyte. He probably should've fought Whyte when he faced Breazeale in 2019. Doesn't really matter. It would've been the same result then as it will be when they fight next. Wilder KO 1. Then, next year, in summer or early fall, he'll fight the Joshua-Usyk winner. Likely Joshua. One or two of the belts might be gone at that point. The WBA strap, most likely, since that org is a train wreck. Wilder will stop the winner of that fight. And everyone who has been saying Wilder doesn't "fight" anyone will wake up one morning and realize Wilder fought Luis Ortiz, Tyson Fury, Luis Ortiz (again), Tyson Fury (again), Tyson Fury (yet again), Dillian Whyte and the Joshua-Usyk winner in seven of his last eight fights. That he actually faced the best of his era (repeatedly). And they will all realize there are posts going back years showing how ill informed and blind they were, so there will be a huge influx of people with only a handful of posts because those embarrassed posters will all change their user names, jump on the bandwagon and pretend they were never so lost. (LOL)
I guess what I'm asking is why you assume Wilder would duck AJ for an undisputed fight when he's the one who stepped up 3 times to fight Fury who is the divisions #1 fighter and stylistically and physically his worst matchup by far. Seems like Wilder is willing to risk a loss to me
Because he already ducked Aj. He's only fighting Fury to gain his respect back. Fury came off of a coke binge in the first fight and almost beat Wilder. Wilder gave him the rematch because he put him down in the first fight and was confident he could do it again but got destroyed. Wilder wants revenge. That is it. All he's been chatting about is revenge. If he beat Fury he would not risk fighting Aj at all. He'd duck him again and continue to fight cans and have a trillogy with Ortiz.
Wilder can't beat Fury for the world title given that Fury isn't recognized as world champion anymore.
If fury wins I feel like he will retire or go into a long lay off. That or fight a bum next. Can't ever see him fighting 5 or 6 mandatorys and taking real risks like AJ does. Which is a shame because as talented as he is he needs to do that to cement his legacy, at the moment he's still all hype oddly. If wilder wins, which wouldn't surprise as he only needs one punch as poor as he is I reckon he would be deluded enough to convince himself he's elite and will lose again as soon as he faces a top 5 or 10 opponent.
Saw an interesting video on that not too long ago. This content is protected I do get that odd feeling sometimes. I don't think Fury is will fight Aj. He'll beat Wilder, fight a bum, probably Chisora again, and then sell off into the sunset. Something just tells me this fight will never happen. I truly believe if Fury was confident that he could beat Aj then the fight would have already happened. I genuinely hope in wrong
Imagine if Fury retires right now and Wilder will be ordered to fight Whyte for WBC belt. Than Fury will return again and fight AJ for big money, but no belts on the line.
Remember Tyson Fury has Bipolar. He goes through his ups and downs like no one else. His mental inconsistency could well stop him from going on to become an ATG.
Exactly. Yet he came out of retirement choosing to fight Wilder, despite the fact that Aj had more belts and would be a bigger pay day. The moment he saw Wilder struggle with Szpilkas head movement live in the crowd he knew he had the beating of Wilder with 100% confidence. Stormed the ring right after the Szpilka fight talking all that **** lol. He knows deep down Aj will be a far harder fight, a fight that he could really loose. I just call it how i see it. He wont fight Aj unless some gargantuan money is guaranteed.
Did he get a shot at AJ after coming out of retirement? Wilder was the biggest fight he could have gotten so soon after coming out of retirement. AJ was trying to fight Wilder, and Wilder ducked AJ for Fury. Fury was robbed, so therefore a rematch was agreed and Fury fought Wilder again for the WBC belt, but the condition was Wilder could have a rematch if he lost, which Fury would have had no choice but to agree to if he wanted another shot at Wilder. Fury and his team are guilty in getting the fans excited for an undisputed match while knowing that the legal issues for the 3rd fight could get in the way, but they had no control over the arbitration. The fight was part of the contract unfortunately. I don't think Fury ducked AJ, him and his team are just assholes and idiots for making this undisputed thing drag out just to draw more attention to Fury v Wilder 3.
If my memory serves me right, Fury was offered a 3 fight deal by Hearn back in 2017 or 2018 with Anthony Joshua being the 3rd fight. Fury refused and signed with Frank Warren.
