WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32KOs) is preparing for the first defense of his world title, next month against Eric Molina in Alabama.
Unbeaten British contender Tyson Fury (24-0, 18KOs) is the mandatory challenger to WBA/IBO/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53KOs).
Klitschko-Fury is being discussed for the fall, either in the UK or Germany.
Wilder is being mentioned as a potential opponent for both Klitschko and Fury.
Fury's antics, and his large stature, makes for an interesting fight. He is one of the few potential opponents who is actually taller than Klitschko.
Wilder gives Fury a very good chance to pull off an upset - if he manages to fight smart and keep his head together.
"I think he's got a hell of a chance to win, but I think it's going to be up to Tyson Fury on how he dedicates himself to his boxing. It depends on how seriously he takes this fight. You've seen many times where Tyson was hit and went down from smaller guys. If Klitschko hit him, will he be able to get up like he has from the smaller guys?," Wilder told BoxingScene.com.
"He will have to [rough Wladimir up]. With the Chisora fight he wasn't worried. You can tell in the first couple of rounds what type of fighter he would be. He was like a kid in a playground. He was able to do anything he wanted. With Klitschko, I agree that he has to come out there and rough him up, but he has to be smart. That's the thing with taller fighters - you make one mistake and you can get punished."
