Tyson Fury is sceptical about the trilogy with Wilder. He said, “He’s got a rematch clause in the contract but he’s only just had his loss and I’ve only just had my victory.”
Nobody can deny Fury the right to celebrate the spoils of war. Although Fury said that he does not want to think of his next opponent, the Brit mentioned Anthony Joshua’s name if Wilder is not interested in a rematch.
“I took the chance, I came over here, I took over America, and that’s it. I’m going to enjoy the spoils of war and enjoy myself tonight and that’s it. If Deontay don’t want the rematch, then let’s go AJ.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn has also teased a title unification bout between Joshua and Fury.

Joshua is a much more technical boxer than Fury’s last opponent and he can pose some serious threat to Fury’s undefeated record. On top of that, he has some serious power in his hands. On the other hand, Fury is a refined boxer with incredible movement and brutal power.
Should these two collide, we can finally get to know who is the greatest boxer of this generation.
