Deontay Wilder has been unbeaten for so many years, the former WBC world heavyweight champion and possibly future undisputed champion of the world to come. Wilder lost his WBC world heavyweight championship to the gypsy king, Tyson Fury on the 22nd February 2020 and is wanting to have a rematch against the gypsy king to try and regain what he lost on that day, however Anthony Joshua is wanting to fight Tyson Fury to combined all the belts together. Deontay Wilder however wants the rematch against the gypsy king before anyone else fights him, but there is one way he will step aside.

The only way Deontay Wilder is going to step aside is by paying him up to £8 million. This is an odd request but this is not all. The winner of the Joshua vs Fury fight must fight Deontay Wilder for all the titles. So we could be seeing two great heavyweight bouts soon to come, if the coronavirus is gone by then. The virus has stopped the rematch between Fury and Wilder and has stopped the most recent bout Joshua vs Pulve. The next Anthony Joshua fight could be Tyson Fury, Pulve and Wilder… No one knows until the deal is done and dusted.

Eddie Hearn is wanting Joshua to fight Fury for the mega fight, since Wilder would never agree to any terms with the Englishmen. Tyson Fury on the other hand would agree with the offers if he thinks its worth it… which becoming a two time undisputed champion would be a great achievement before he retires. This fight needs to happen and Eddie Hearn is trying his best to get this fight to happen.
