    What's the earliest date that Wilder-Fury 3 could happen?

    Wilder & Fury last fought 15 months ago. They've both been training for a return and don't have to make weight at Heavyweight. If the reports are true, how quick can a 3rd fight happen, so that the winner could fight Joshua?

    I don't think there is any way, or any reason why, they would rush Wilder-Fury 3 if it does have to happen

        Late July Maybe would probably be the Earliest but I'm thinking sticking with August would probably make the most sense giving both fighters plenty of time to have a full Camp. I know it sucks especially for a lot of Brits as well as Hardcore Boxing fans who do prefer Unification over Trilogy with Fury vs Wilder but hey he did sign a contract and judge ruled he has to honor that and understandably so because I've always said you cannot really blame anybody personally for a Pandemic causing the Rematch Time Frame on a contract to run out

            It doesn't bother me too much because it seems strange to me for Fury to fight Joshua in August, since that would be 18 months since his last fight. I know that the AJ fanboys said that if Fury tried to take a tune up fight first, it would be a duck, but this 3rd Wilder fight makes sense. Fury gets to get in shape and shake off the rust, and he can shut up Wilder and all the people who are buying into Wilder's conspiracy theories. All this drama will just make the undisputed fight even bigger and more anticipated.

              If a guy is true to their craft (barring injuries and the unforeseen), they should ALWAYS be ready.

              If a MFer just sat on his ass eating and drinking his time away, it could take another 15 months.

                None of these boxers are rarely ready.

                But yes? Boxers really should be at any given time '6-7 weeks away from fighting condition'.

                i.e All they would need is 6-7 weeks of specific training, due to training all year round.

                The only adaptations they would make in those 6-7 weeks would be more sparring, and specific tactical work.

                Most like Joshua, Alvarez, Crawford and Eubank Junior are fighters who live like this etc
