      Seems both sides are saying it’s done and happening. Warren said he expects the announcement very soon.

      I’m actually surprised, I thought Wilders team would be waiting to to see if Ruiz keeps the belts.

        What’s true then?

        Wilder said Fury is next last week and vice versa

        Warren said there’s an announcement soon and Arum said it’s a done deal

        Nobody has hinted it might not happen, not even Wilder. Wilder has even said when he’s going back into camp for the fight

            If the numbers don't make sense for all parties I'm sure they can mutually agree to hold off.

            We know Fury can sell a fight but nobody gave a **** about his last two or Deyonces last two.

            The rematch might do 500k buys split over two platforms if it's lucky, but were all people involved only on board if the buys were expected to break 1mill?

            You just don't know.

            I do know that if I was Fury I wouldn't be taking any less than 60% considering Wilders PPV failure on his own.

              If Fury ain't next, I would like Wilder to realistically fight one of the following:
              - Andy Ruiz (if he wins against Joshua)
              - Joseph Parker (former champ, and has beaten Ruiz + went 12 rounds with AJ)
              - Adam Kownacki (unbeaten)
              - Alexander Povetkin (unfinished business)

              I could have said (and would like) Anthony Joshua but I don't see that happening unless AJ and Hearn agree to fight on equal footing. However, if it ain't unification I think Wilder could take an easier fight next given he has fought Stiverne-Ortiz-Fury-Breazeale-Ortiz in a row. It could be Tom Schwartz or Otto Wallin or Mariusz Wach or someone similar.

                Which is why we can be fairly sure that it's not really signed.

                There's no way PBC would control all the belts and send Wilder in against Arum's fighter.

                Ortiz and Kownacki would also be pissed off. For all their loyalty the belts get offered to 'outsiders'.

                  If they hold off too long they'll have Whyte problems and Wilder will probably end up fighting him on DAZN due to purse bid.

                      Yes they have to agree not to fight mutually, none of them can get out of the fight and fight anyone else without getting into trouble.

                      This is why Wilder was talking about asking Fury to step aside if Ruiz wins so he can fight for the undisputed championship.
