The fight between the two best heavyweights is undoubtedly Fury vs. Usyk, but the famous Ricky Hatton believes that the most interesting fight that could be organized in the near future is different.

"Hitman" is a close friend Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), but would like to see Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) against Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs). The former champions were overthrown by Usyk and Fury, respectively.

“The best heavyweight fight you can have is Joshua vs. Wilder. The audience wants to see Fury and Usyk because they are two of the best fighters, but personally I would prefer to see Joshua and Wilder in action. Whoever strikes first wins, and I'm willing to pay almost any price to watch them fight."

Malik Scott, Wilder's coach, recently spoke in a similar tone, convinced that his ward will defeat Joshua ahead of schedule before the end of the third round.
