Who would it be? I could see Fury travelling to America, but it's a risky fight. He could fight Shannon Briggs, that would be entertaining.
Wilder's next opponent?

The HW division is heating up and Wilder needs to keep up the steam and not fight some no-name to defend the prestigious belt. Needs to be a top ten guy or his credibility vanishes. That rules out Briggs obviously, but he would be the lone acceptable exception because he is crazy and sells and was the last previous American champion.Comment

Antonio Tarver is still viable enough option for a voluntary defense. Looking down the WBC heavyweight rankings, the Glazkov-Cunningham winner could also warrant an opportunity (whether Duva and Haymon can come to reasonable enough terms is in question).The HW division is heating up and Wilder needs to keep up the steam and not fight some no-name to defend the prestigious belt.

Outside of Klitschko, none of the other heavyweights have been able to set their names apart, so it doesn't really matter who he fights as long as he fights.
As long as Wilder keeps his face out there (if his management was on top of things, he'd be booked to do Good Morning America ABC, The Today Show NBC, and This Morning CBS, before spending the rest of the day doing the ESPN shows) the momentum will move just fine.Comment
