I am thinking since Fury won my Non Stop Boxing Champion poll by a landslide I'd do another form of NSB champ achieved through TBCB and then unify with Tyson's NSB champion.
Or, to say that differently, since most people here agree Tyson is top dog i'm going to have Wilder and Joshua fight through TBCB to decide the challenger then have the winner face Tyson while the loser moves on to Whyte or Ortiz depending on their outcome. Loser of wilder-josh vs winner of whyte-ortiz then face off to decide Tyson, or the new champion's, next defense.
These fights will be under Prime, Top Condition, no one will ever have home venue advantage, and I'm going with the first run the sim gives me. If y'all want best of five or some such like that...it'd be long, but I'll do it. For now, first run wins.
