WBC head Mauricio Suleiman said he was ready to endorse Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) with Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), if the end result is Bronze Bomber but not Anthony Joshua ( 24-1, 22 KO) will be the next opponent for the "King of the Gypsies".

"We will sanction this fight if necessary," said the president of the World Boxing Council. "We support the idea of ​​fighting for the title of the undisputed champion Fury - Joshua, but the fight of our reigning champion and the former one is also a big event. It's incredible how things have changed in the last two or three days,” Suleiman said.

According to Bob Arum, the third confrontation of Fury and Wilder may take place on July 24 in Las Vegas. The first fight ended in a draw, and the second Fury won by a stoppage.
