You're right. Joshua fought hard to pick up Fury's belts and he is a steady, reliable and dedicated champion. Fury has been a terrible lineal champion over the last 3 years by his own doing. But that's the thing about being the lineal champion: there's nothing artificial about it. You can't get stripped and nobody anoints you. You either beat the lineal champion, or you don't. And Fury did...
So he's part of boxing history and if Wilder wins, he'll be part of history too. Not only that, regardless of who wins, they'll both be rewarded for stepping up (especially Fury). Joshua will be on the outside looking in and people will be wondering:
Why is he fighting Whyte, Pulev and Usyk?
Why isn't he on this list?
Joshua needs to fight the winner of Wilder-Fury, not the other way around...
