Joshua Wilder next, Wembley stadium in April. Finkel gets a new contract Monday morning from Joshua and Hearn and he will play at it for a month to try squeeze more but in the end they will take the contract. Finkel **** himself last night, Fury was walking away with it and Deontay was looking lost. **** himself and now he realises he cant go back to fighting bums, its time to cash out. Wilder is a bad Boxer he is getting smashed to pieces in April.
After being schooled by a far superior Boxer he will have to take on another superior Boxer but one that also can ruin you with one shot.
If wilder wants a shot at undisputed he might well be thinking he is better taking on Joshua now given how he has had two close ish calls against Ortiz and more so against fury?
No Wilder and Fury have a very large score to settle and some unfinished business they must take care of first. perhaps if AJ is still interested he can fight the winner of the two.
I think Wilder has a good chance vs Joshua. Better than he did before.
Joshua is not nearly as slippery as Fury and a lot of those punches would have landed. Meanwhile Wilder is leaving himself open far less than he used to and has learned some defense.
I agree, Joshua can be hit.
Wilder VS Joshua would be over in 3 rounds.
Heavy hands, not much skill (Wilder), basically robot wars.
I think Wilder just lost all the bargaining power he had. Should've just taken the AJ fight and possibly knocked him out already.
I dont think anything changed about the AJ fight. It's not happening now. The biggest loser in all of this is AJ and Hearn. Fury and Wilder will have another rematch and more people will tune in this time.
Joshua vs Wilder is still a kill or be killed fight. Doesn't matter what Fury did or that Deontay was exposed. Styles make fights and Joshua can't do what Fury did so I don't want to hear it from the Brits.

Yeah, they will be calling for Fury vs Joshua,
which is way bigger in the UK.
Wilder will become irrelevant for now.
Fury vs Wilder will not be happening anytime soon.
Ask Fury.
Who are we kidding?
My prediction is AJ v Whyte in April, with Ortiz v Chisora on the undercard. I'd like to see AJ v Ortiz, but I think Whyte is the most deserving of a title shot outside the top3 heavyweights.
Joshua and Wilder still have the belts, if the IBF let's Joshua put back his mandatory against Pulev then I want to see Joshua fight Wilder at Wembley in April.
They don't need Joshua. Fury showed amazing class and won over a ton of American fans. Deontay helped himself with the knockdown in the 12th. These guys should focus on themselves and let that dazn fighter feast on white, chisora or whoever else they have
Unless Wilder-Fury was a massive success (+500K PPV), Joshua-Wilder is coming up next.
Wilder did just enough to steal a still controversial draw from Fury after being clearly outboxed. They're not risking Wilder's standing once again if they can make the Joshua fight for 2x, 3x, or higher payday.
There will be Joshua-Wilder negotiations and if the parties come to an agreement (which will be tough due to the insults, history, and egos involved) it'll be next up, if not, Brezeale will get a shot. Wilder's team will use Fury's "rest" comments against him and will be in no rush for a rematch.

Fury clearly beat wilder. That 12th round knocksown was straight luck with fury going forward when he didnt need to. Should have kept boxing ,but he still won ,thats how big his lead was.
I wouldnt mind fury vs AJ
Put wilder in there with other heavys
I rather fury aj or wilder aj first. I think rematches can always happen. Each time pacquiao Marquez rematches the hype was bigger when fights happened in between.
