Fury won't fight Whyte because he sparked him in sparring. Fact. Those two sparred so many rounds and Dillian wants the fight and Fury doesn't. Go figure....

AJ is fighting Pulev after Ruiz. Pulev is IBF mandatory. I don't want to see Wilder/Ortiz II I'd rather see Wilder/Fury II but if that can't happen in the fall, then I'd be fine with Ortiz I suppose, just because I see Rivas beating Whyte, and Wilder/Rivas does nothing to help anyone. Good luck selling a Columbian fighter from Canada to a Brooklyn crowd lol.
but if Whyte gets away with another hometown decision, or a homecooked draw, then sure Wilder/Whyte can happen lolComment

No way Fury fights Whyte he’s just looking for publicity. Whyte was putting him on his arse years ago in sparring and thats when he was in terrible condition a 2019 Whyte would destroy Fury but if the fight happened it would be huge in the UK but I just have a feeling it’s just more attention seeking by Fury.Comment

Yes, because he's immature and little crazy! That's why we love him! Never boring.Comment

I don't think that's the case. I don't think Fury is afraid to fight anybody. Let's be fair, he still wasn't 100% and he took the first fight. He isn't a ****** guy, he's very astute when it comes to boxing, he knew Wilder is a huge puncher. If he was worried about that, he wouldn't have took the first fight after 2 knockover jobs.
I simply think he just got offered a deal too good to turn down. And why should he? - other fighters have their own big deals with networks, so he can do the same.
Fury chased the Wlad fight for years. He said he would fight Wilder right after his comeback and was true to his word. Whether people like Fury or not, i don't think anyone can question is balls to fight. I just think he wanted his own bit of power and have a network behind him, which is fair enough. No different to what AJ does with Sky, Canelo with DAZN etc..Comment

I'm not sure Fury lost that much weight after fighting Wilder. Maybe 5-6 more pounds. Having seen his recent training video he doesn't look much different. He was around 255 for Wilder and I'd guess he is around 250 now.
I continue to wonder how much fitness as opposed to style played a role in the fight. Fury didn't gas and his movement was similar to that of the Klitschko fight.Comment

What we learned from Deontay Wilder’s 1st-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale
Ring TV
The second tier (Ortiz, Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin) and third tier (Kownacki, Joseph Parker, Kubrat Pulev and Oscar Rivas) of heavyweights either aren’t ready or have already tasted defeat at the hands of one of the division’s big three. With politics once more in the way, the likely scenario will be the second and third tiers jockeying for position to lose to those top dogs. Wilder’s path is the most obvious (Ortiz and Kownacki), but Joshua and Fury’s aren’t quite as clear. It’s possible that Joshua will go back to Wembley Stadium in London to fight the winner of Whyte vs. Rivas this fall, and it’s likely that Fury will see Pulev after Schwarz.
Fortunately for fans, the other heavyweights have had their share of exciting fights and won’t just lie down should they get to challenge one of the champions. All of that will lead to exciting fights, but there’s little doubt that the three sitting atop the division now will still be there at this point next year.
Fans won’t be satisfied until Fury, Wilder and Joshua are scheduled to face one another, but there won’t be a full-blown mutiny while we wait. As a matter of fact, with Wilder’s star growing, Fury re-entering fight fans’ consciousness and Joshua establishing himself stateside, the wait will only make these fights grow bigger in stature.
