Your assessment of Fury's engine is wrong. For as big as he is, yes he has a pretty good engine, but when most of your punches are slaps and the person you're fighting doesn't throw many punches, it's easy to maintain some stamina. However, when Fury fought Wilder, Fury began to tire around the middle rounds. Fury began to move a lot less and that's why Wilder was able to find him for those two knockdowns. The reason why Fury seems to have stamina, is because slappy arm punches dont require much strength to throw, but Fury's feet slow down. In the last fight the 12th round burst after the knock down was adrenaline, as Fury admitted he was tired and also said it was his adrenaline that got him through the end of the fight.
So yes, for his size, his stamina is rather impressive, but of the two, Wilder has showed the superior engine. Often carrying his speed, movement, and power throughout an entire fight. What we do know is that both fighters tired out quite a bit in fight 1, but it was Wilder who began to land more and get two knockdowns, where as Fury's movement slowed down and was easier to hit. No reason to not expect the same thing, unless Fury throws more punches and engages more, well then, Fury will tire out quicker.
