    He'll fight and beat the following in this order: the winner of Whyte vs Wallin (Whyte), the winner of Usyk vs Joshua (Usyk) plus rematch and the loser of Usyk vs Joshua (Joshua).

    If Wilder doesn't quit we'll also see Wilder becoming mandatory for one of the belts by the time that those fights have been done and dusted.

    That will leave him with a record of being unbeaten, a total of 6 title defences and 13 Lineal champion defences and him being a candidate for the GOAT heavyweight imo.

      He'll probably ask WBC to designate him as "Franchise Champion" at heavyweight.
      Fury doesn't seem interested in defending titles. That's his way out of the obligation.
      Then he can take a year off and hope for a big money-spinning stadium fight with AJ in the UK sometime in Oct/Nov 2022.

      The issue is that if Whyte then gets made full WBC Champion, AJ is more likely to fight Dillian instead.
      Joshua cares about being undisputed. Fury doesn't. So the AJ-Fury fight may well end up being in 2023.

        I think it'll be Whyte. Fury has no reason to fear him, and it would pay better than any of the available options. Maybe Warren would prefer an inhouse fight like Joyce or Dubois though

          I would like to see him fight Dillian Whyte, whilst waiting to see what happens with Usyk-AJ II. Styles make fights, and Dillian has the potential to be a tough customer. Tyson doesn't have the sort of one-punch power to keep a fighter like Dillian at bay, and Dillian would cope a lot better than Wilder did with Fury's new inside mauling/wrestling style. Having said that, Dillian still has to get past Otto Wallin first. If he does that, I'd love to see Fury-Whyte.

            Whyte or the AJ/Usyk 2 winner if it’s AJ.

              He will probably take a safe fight and wait to see the winner of A.J and Usyk . It will depend on the Whyte vs Wallin outcome . It will be Whyte if he wins . It will probably be someone like Kabayel if he doesn’t .

                Zero chance he fights Whyte.

                He has no interest in mandatories. My guess is if Whyte beats Wallin, Fury drops the belt.

                  HAHA..that only happens in your dreams dude..

                  He will probably box 1-2 times more in total. Likely the Usyk fight is the one he wants and after that he's done.

                      Fury will fight Wallin if he wins and duck Whyte if he wins. And his rabid fans will support it because they have supported it this entire time. Fury beat Wilder in a good fight. Great. Now there are 45 other heavyweights in the top 50 that he hasn't fought. And now when it's a mandatory he wants to try and swerve it? No. Ali, Lewis, Louis, they fought everybody in their era. Fury has fought only two. And one was almost 40 years old. Fury needs to beat more than Wilder to be an all time great.
