Hopefully Fury/Wilder. I think Fury loses to Arreola or Stiverne, I don't like the matchup for him there, and I don't think either would bother fighting him right now while on cusp of WBC title shot. Fury Wilder would be an interesting fight that would be harder to call, and would have a lot of passionate fans being "certain" their fighter would destroy the other.
I think Golden Boy and Wilder would actually take this fight. Wilder has some popularity and name ID in Great Britain, and considering how big a draw Fury is, they could pack seats. Wilder could get maybe get a million or so out of it, if its favorable negotiating terms. Plus, while Fury would and should be the favorite, I like Wilder's odds against Fury more than any other top 10 HW. High reward and low risk for Wilder. If he loses, he would have lost whenever he faced a top 10 HW, probably wouldn't have been in a title match and even if it was, probably wouldn't earn as much from fighting Fury. If he wins, he doesn't have to face another top contender and can just wait and fight lower tier guys until a K gives him a shot or he can fight for a vacant belt.
Along with Fury Wilder, Fury Adamek or Fury Thompson would be the best, most interesting, high selling matches that'd I'd prefer over Arreola or Stiverne. I'd make Fury a favorite over either one, but they would be close enough matches with enough upside to draw either fighter in.Comment
