    Wilder is a man of integrity if he does this. Those two are both undefeated and deserve the honour of taking the other's '0'

      Interesting rematch.

      I agree with Freddie Roach, Fury needs to sit down on his punches more on the inside, he has a good chance of stopping Wilder if he does that, also since the US will be looking to rob him again it's time to bust out the mugging tactics on the inside.

        At this point I don't believe that that any of these fighter is genuinely scared of another, let alone ducking another fighter because of it. Politics and money drive the sport as it always has done, so I wonder if people really pay that much attention to all the headline grabbing statements... it's surely all just all said and done for a reason? I mean, how many times have we heard "lets just give the fans what they want"? When in reality, all the fighters are really arguing about are the best deals they can get; and who can blame them? That Wilder combination that put Fury down in the 12th was spiteful and while we say 'hats off to Fury for getting up', we all know that the ferocity of that combo could have also done serious damage so I for one, don't begrudge them trying to earn as much as they can. For all the theatrics that surround boxing, it is still a brutal sport!
        With all that being said however I do think that either way we look at it, Wilder's belt will be going to the UK - be it with Fury of Joshua and we can then look forward to seeing a legitimate, unified champion.

          That’s fine. But certain boxing fans will still blame Joshua when he doesn’t fight Wilder or Fury next

            Wilder saw Hearn's offers were fake for public consumption, so why bother? Esp. now when rematch will be huge.
            So will the third.

            Could be a very different fight with DW boxing more and less swinging wildly and a fitter TF punching more for a KO.

              This is exactly how I see it. So many people thought that Fury won the fight, so why should anyone be upset that he's getting the well deserved rematch? That's what should happen, with the winner fighting AJ.

              Only problem with that is if it sets up a trilogy. Hopefully the winner goes on to fight AJ before a trilogy rematch. That's how I think this should play out.

                That's ultimately what cost him the fight. Too many of his punches were pitty pat punches. In the closer rounds, Wilder got the benefit of the doubt by throwing with conviction.

                  and missing by miles, but the judges still count those

                    It’s sad we will never get to see the mega unification between AJ vs Wilder cus fury will win the rematch especially if it’s in the UK..

                    We’ll get the undisputed unification between Fury vs AJ but that fight will never be as entertaining as 2 heavy hitter slugging it out

                      Fury landed 13 more punches in a 12 round fight, so essentially one more punch per round.

                      When you only land one more punch per round, but your opponent is the aggressor, landing bigger shots, and knocks you down twice, you don't have much room to complain about a draw.
