Wow. Did this fight change the future for Wilder. Fury may have saved the prime of his career by fighting him. I know Wilder is probably disappointed but actually this is the best thing that happens to him the draw. This fight was all over ESPN today in every show. Wilder will be on Cordon tonight. I think Wilder thought he could cross mainstream America with a big KO but this is better. Fury jumped into mainstream with him. Wilder has options now. Everyone wants a rematch now even casuals in America. He now has Joshua calling him out on social media for the first time. This whole time DW was chasing AJ. Leverage just shifted. AJ just become the 3rd fiddle in America. People know of AJ here but now they KNOW Wilder AND Fury. Hearn has completely botched AJ in America. It's absouletly ridiculous to me he hasn't fought here once yet. Guy has mainstream appeal oozing from him and has under armour backing him. What's the hold up?!?! Know he has to work on his American branding while Fury and Wilder are established. AJ should have already cracked America. Now Hearn and AJ are going be chasing Wilder because it will bring the American market now for sure. Fury Wilder was a game changer for DW. DW now has a lucrative rematch here or in London with Fury. He has a lucrative deal with AJ in London. Or he can let Fury and AJ duke it out and get the winner while he fights Brezeale has mandatory. He would knock Brezeale out spectacularly (he is too slow) and have more eye balls then usual after that Fury fight. Always Miller, Whyte and Ortiz as well but highly unlikely. Point is before Fury all he had was chasing AJ. Now he has AJ chasing him or a Fury rematch or a mandatory while he waits.
He has three options now: 1) fight AJ; 2) fight Fury again; 3) duck them both. P.S. Unless AJ fights Fury, so both of them are unavailable.
Don't expect Team Wilder to sanction any competitive match ups any time soon. Ortiz rematch is the path of least resistance to my eyes, and they don't have to share the dollar. We'll see I guess....
