It seems like a good take on things, I agree with you.

- Wilder should not invoke the clause for a re-match, instead should take time out and recuperate

- Fury and Joshua should fight to be undisputed heavyweight champion (I also go for Fury to win)

- Wilder should have at least two warm-up fights or become number one contender before he should fight the then heavyweight champion of the world

Fury is 29 now, he is absolutely loaded as far as cash is concerned. Just one more fight would be enough to fill the coffers further and if he beats Joshua then he could easily retire but there are problems. He signed a 5 fight deal with BT Sport/ESPN for around £80 million. Joshua has a fight deal with DAZN/Sky Sports and Wilder has a Showtime contract.

Let us see what happens with Wilder and his team, will they invoke the re-match clause or not?


Although, I'd agree that there are better fights for the fans than Chisora. Fury, and Chisora are personal friends, and Fury has always hinted giving him another fight whether that was sarcastic was hard to be determined considering the context that it was said. I'm not sure about you, but having a trilogy almost 3 fights in a row just takes everything out of the last two fights. Usually, trilogy fights are over a period of time, but we'll be having 3 fights within 4 fights for each fighter which in my opinion is too soon. Personally, I believe the better option would be to have a break, and allow Fury vs Joshua. Then whoever wins that can vs Wilder again. I'll be routing for Fury, but lets just say that Joshua wins it. It would still be worthwhile for Wilder to fight Fury after Joshua just because he still has something to prove.
