I just believe that it's the mentality of the champion not to easily accept defeat so he would want another opportunity to fight Fury.
I think I am loving this match again, if he loses then he should not long for another match as fans would surely not gonna buy the fight and of course no promoter would promote a fight that would not sell.
I did not say Wilder does not deserve another shot at Fury via the contract clause, all I said was that he should not invoke the re-match and instead take a break then come back fresh. He might be better off fighting a few lesser known opponents to build up confidence then arrange a fight for the heavyweight title.
Maybe you are right, Wilder might believe he will not get destroyed - let us see what happens because he still has around 27 days to force the re-match or tell the Fury camp he will not take it.
I honestly cannot see Wilder asking for a re-match - he knows Fury will destroy him again. If Wilder manages to unleash a powerful right hand and catches Fury off-guard he might win but he cannot out box and he cannot outclass Fury therefore another defeat for Wilder is the only result. If Wilder has a few warm-up fights beforehand then tries to get a fight with either Fury then he stands a better chance but inevitably Fury will destroy Wilder again regardless.
Wilder does not believe he will be destroyed again, he was a champion with only one defeat it's just good to give him another chance.. other reason is the money he will get in the 3rd match, and if Conor challenge Pacman to a fight even knowing he has no chance, why not give a chance to a real fighter like Wilder.
