(Interview) Deontay Wilder Confirms Tyson Fury as Next Fight

[Accolade]

Wilder says he's moved on mentally, physically, and emotionally from Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn. Says he's the longest reigning and most exciting HW in the division. Says Klitschko tried to unify against Stiverne but wouldn't fight him.

[MDPopescu]

Rumor is "The Ring" is considering throwing in the Rocky belt into the mix considering Fury is still the Lineal champ & NEVER actually lost his belts inside the ring.

The Ring "stripped" him, TBRB and CBZ as well...

[Accolade]

Wilder says that Joshua is a true paper champion and that Joshua, Parker, and Martin wouldn't have been champions if Fury stayed around.

Yup, Ring just now on twitter said that the belt will NOT be on the line despite other outlets putting out there.

[Accolade]

Wilder says that you'll see the Bronze Bomber in the ring, not some friendly guy. He says don't be mistaken by him and Fury being friends, him and Malik Scott were friends, fought, and he KO'd him in the first round. WILL NOT PLAY AROUND WITH FURY.

[Accolade]

Wilder says someone's getting knocked the **** out and there will be no dispute as to who the best heavyweight in the world is after this fight.

.............................. yes:

We can confirm that THE RING heavyweight championship would not - repeat NOT - be on the line should @BronzeBomber and @Tyson_Fury fight at the end of the year. Please ignore any outlet that states otherwise @dougiefischer @Tom_Gray_Boxing @MikeCoppinger #boxing

The Ring will only put the lineal title on the line for Wilder vs Joshua. As far as I'm concerned though Fury vs Wilder is the lineal fight.

Being a unified titleholder doesn't mean you get given a RING championship. You're making up your own rules. Joshua-Wilder is "currently" the fight which the panel believes should be for the title. That decision is unanimous.

... as far as I'm concerned Fury is the lineal title holder, no matter who he is fighting...
