Have you seen Wilders house and cars? There's about a 99.8% chance he fights again. He hasn't made enough in his career to ride off into the sunset especially with his lifestyle
Why does anyone think Wilder will test himself now when he hasn't his entire career... He fought a 40+ Ortiz and almost got beat in both then cherry picked a fat coked up Fury. He then had to rematch Fury in the hope of redemption but got battered. He'll go back to fighting sub par opposition like Charles Martin/Arreola etc. Massive hypejob all because he was knocking out stiffs with his right hand
if he does comes backn he has two paths: taking the payday against joshua/fury III and almost certainly lose again, then retire, or coming back against a domestic level guy like travis kaufman/ Arreola II/Breazeale II/Big baby anderson, beat them handily , fight a top 10 and then make another attempt at the title.
Wasn't he in talks to fight Martin? Make fun of him all you want but he'd still flatten a guy like that. The winner of Whyte/Povetkin would make sense, with a title shot for the winner. I'd like to see him in with a banger like Mahkmoudov, Kean or Yoka, but those unproven guys need to be pursuing him, not the other way around.
Let's be real Ortiz was an old man who had one good win ( Jennings) then popped for steroids and has never looked good since that and also being at least in his mid 40's being generous. he is the ultimate boogeyman built up by the PBC turned down big money to fight Joshua so he could lose to Wilder.
Bridgerweight champion's first defense. He's going to hold that title for a few years defending against overweight Cruisers.
