The lineal champ is the man who beat the man.
Should the lineal champ retire, then the number 1 rank and win it if he faces off against the the number 2 or number 3, or if the number 3 or 2 rank beats the number 1 rank in that fight.
If Joshua would have faced Wilder during that absence then they winner could rightfully claim to be the lineal champ.
Can Fury come back and claim that title? I guess yes, has more claim to it than anyone else.
