Can the Wilder-Joshua winner still be considered the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion?

[South Champion]

Tyson Fury won the lineal title from Wlad. Then, Anthony Joshua won Fury’s belts (except the lineal title) against an already defeated Wlad.

Wilder fought Tyson Fury to a draw, that most think Fury should’ve won.

Wilder and Joshua and their teams & networks have been promoting their eventual fight as the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. With the winner receiving the vacant lineal title.

But if Wilder-Joshua happens next, and if there’s a definitive winner, could either of them really call themselves the Undisputed Lineal Champ without a win over Fury?

[R01]

Only if Fury officially retires and relequishes that title.

Wilder joshua may have already lost some of its appeal....

The Ring belt but not for the lineal belt.

[LoadedWraps]

Fury is, and has been the lineal champion. The kingpin. The boogieman of the division. The cash cow.

It really has, especially for Wilder who lost a lot of leverage tonight.


AJ is looking in a good position right now. Hearn must be loving it.

No man can call themselves the champion until they beat Tyson Fury. Simple.
