    Finkle won’t throw his guy into a third fight with new training unless he’s become incompetent as a boss . The best case for Wilder is AJ loses and He somehow gets over Fury and fights Pulev which is about 5% chance of happening .
    Anthony Joshua is fighting Pulev next, and then he probably maybe has to face Usyk 'If he beats Chisora'.

    Tyson Fury wants to make a easy defense of his titles 'I don't think the Fury camp want the fight, but not out of fear' I just think they want to move on from Deontay Wilder etc

      By all means have 3rd fight down the line when wilder learnt to box but not now.
      Other fights need to happen and both are holding each other hostage.
      Furys preventing me seeing wilder v dubois/Joyce, parker, ruiz etc.

        There was a rematch clause in the contract. I don't see how they can get around that, unless Wilder accepts money to let them out of the agreement.

        Originally the rematch clause had to be exercised and the fight had to take place by August, but the clause was pushed back to the end of the year because of Covid.

        If Wilder doesn’t take the fight by the end of the year then the rematch clause is no longer valid.

          I'm glad to hear this. I've been saying that Fury doesn't need this fight - so if Wilder's team want to wait for crowds then he should walk away.

          Have a homecoming defence and then build the fight we actually want to see. Don't tell me Usyk gets in the way of that one. That will be worked out.

          Don't think it will happen, but this is the best chance of getting it to happen.

            Yea but AJ won’t take the Usyk fight once Fury actually t agrees to fight him . The problem is both Fury and Wilder can’t live off the Joshua train and one has to step up not say they will fight him but agree to it . So that leaves Fury .

              I doubt the third fight ever happens once both sides move on.
              Wilder is 35 and the more time that passes the less likely it his he has a chance. He’ll be in safe Al Haymon showcase specials until he’s done.
              Fury is already talking about retirement after a few more fights. He’ll probably have an easy defense then try and make the AJ fight. I doubt Wilder is on his radar anymore as he doesn’t have a title.

                That seems like a lot of speculation.

                Do you have source for that?

                  In lots of the post fight interviews just after the fight, Frank Warren confirmed that the rematch had to take place by August. When the interviewers were asking when the rematch will take place, he said it has to be by the end of August, that was the clause.

                  Then I saw him mention not long ago it was pushed back to December due to the current situation.

                  So the fact it’s being reported it has to take place by the end of December, that seems to be consistent with what Warren has been saying

                    I dont know if this is true but wilder is always 1 punch away from winning any fight.. that being said if that punch doesnt land, he is not beating fury. It's hard to imagine any heavyweight in the last ten years aside from the klits beating fury on points. The man is just a stylistic nightmare

                      Wilder won't face Fury again. He knows that this time he'll be knocked out in 3-4 rds, left looking like a fool. His team is trying to duck, pathetic. Told everyone about Wilder, he is fabricated, not built of the stuff REAL champs are built out of.
