Comments Thread For: Wilder Co-Manager: Fury Rematch Bigger Now Than Joshua Fight

[W1LL]

Only way Fury should rematch Wilder is in the UK. No other way. If Wilder refuses to fight in the UK, that tells you all you need to know. Fury came to his country, beat him fair and square, and got robbed. No other top non-US Heavyweight should fight Wilder in America now.

Wilder will sign on to the Joshua fight now. He'll figure he has a better chance of knocking out someone who's trying to do the same to him, than knocking out someone who's intending to to score a unanimous win on the cards.
After the unification the undisputed champ (my money's on Joshua) will only have time to line up the mandatory challengers if he want's to keep hold of all the belts. So Fury will need to get himself to the top of at least one of the sanctioning body's rankings for another shot - which judging from that performance he is more than capable of.

I'm starting to think the same thing, but my counter is, do you actually think Wilder would go to the UK?

I think Wilder would rather fight Fury in the US than either in the UK. So that's where I think Wilder's team just overpays to get to Fury to come back to the US.

Rematch Fury in the UK you'll lose, fair judges, Fury will improve , 40 fights of bad matches has hurt Wilder.

Fight AJ in April great too.

Hey fight Whyte .. just fight someone.

LOS ANGELES Now that they've gone through something so stirring together, Tyson Fury isn't only literally a bigger opponent for Deontay Wilder than Anthony Joshua. According to Shelly Finkel, Wilder's co-manager, a rematch with the 6-feet-9 Fury now is a bigger fight than Wilder-Joshua. Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) still wants his shot to unify all of boxing's recognized heavyweight titles by battling the 6-feet-6 Joshua.

Wilder's demand in both the Fury and Joshua negotiations was the fight take place in the U.S. Joshua even agreed to a rematch in the US if Wilder beat Joshua in the UK. Wilder didn't want that.

Wilder's team essentially forced Fury to fight in the US and forced a rematch clause.

Wilder can't beat Fury unless he lands a clean shot and that will be harder in a rematch. Historically that's the case.

Wilder is more likely to get KO'd though in a Joshua fight.

My guess is that Wilder's team knows they are more likely to get Fury to come to the US, so they will go that route. If they can't get Fury or Joshua to come to the US, then Wilder will go for the next best option.

Wilder says that he fights around the world but why Wilder doesn't to rematch Fury in the UK ? If the rematch happens then they will make it most likely in Las Vegas. Then Fury can proudly say that he beat Wilder twice on his home turf.

But then Fury can say that he beat Wilder twice in his own country. And then Fury can demand a 50/50 split against Joshua.

Agree. The boxer beats the puncher in the rematch even more convincingly what Ward proved against Kovalev. Yes Ward was dropped in the first fight but in the 2nd fight Kovalev couldn't land anything significant.

Team Wilder, pack your bags! If they want Fury, they have to give him the spotlight in the UK! If not, Joshua vs. Fury will happen in April, and it will be the biggest fight outside the U.S. since the "Thrilla in Manila!" Fury is in the driver's seat in the HW division! His charisma, and his technique, make him a monster! Without Mayweather, or McGregor, Fury is THE MAN!

Well Wilder has a mandatory who is Breazeale.

So by saying this do they now admit that their desperate attempt at overcharging everybody to watch a cherrypick gone wrong to try to match Joshua numbers didnt match up to Joshua numbers? Llike we knew it wouldnt.

Finkel is ignoring Hearn and Joshuas offers, he desperately wants to out offer them a deal and get this fight brought to America, after Wilders last 2 fights and the way Ortiz and Fury were cheated im really not surprised. Finkel is too much of a ***** to bring Wilder to the UK to have a fair fight, they need to make sure they can cheat.
