More recently, there have been rumors in the media about Tyson Fury’s two fights against Anthony Joshua next year, but Fury will probably first have to fight the third time against Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), whom he defeated in February this year. Some, including Floyd Mayweather’s adviser and manager Leonard Ellerby, believe that many Americans debited Wilder too early.
“All boxers in the UK are rooting for Fury, as are all British fans. In America, fans are divided, many Americans support Fury. I don’t like it (...) I will always support my compatriot,” Errol Spence Jr., world welterweight champion, said a few days ago.
“I support Errol Spence one hundred percent. All involved have totally disrespected Wilder w planning another fight,” Ellerby stated in his twitter account.
“Wilder will not disappoint us in this confrontation. Fury should expect a better version of Wilder in the third fight. I don’t like the fact that they give Wilder extra motivation, because even if Fury does not underestimate him, Wilder will take the announcement of the Fury fight against Joshua as a neglect,” former world champion Andre Ward said.
Before a hypothetical meeting with Fury, Joshua has yet to face Kubrat Pulev. In the background there are other mandatory opponents - Dillian Whyte (requiring a fight with Fury) and Oleksandr Usyk, who may soon require a duel with Joshua. The situation is difficult until the Bronze Bomber recovers from a shoulder injury, announces changes in the team and promises to return to the throne. The third time Wilder can cross gloves with Fury this fall or winter at a stadium in Macau (China), Arlington (USA) or Sydney (Australia).
