Recently, Deontay Wilder just came off a fresh win, as he knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round of their fight. He had been inactive in the sport since he lost to Tyson Fury in their trilogy. Following his victory against Helenius, Wilder cried at the post-fight press conference, concerned about his opponent’s health. However, Wilder’s former rival, Fury, had a rather cold reaction to it.  

Tyson Fury was in conversation with FightHype, where he was asked about Deontay Wilder’s emotional meltdown at the press conference. ‘The Gypsy King’ replied, “It made no difference to me. What matters to me is how much, where, and when. That’s all I say to all these fights. How much am I getting? Where is it and when is it?”

The British boxer is a more practical guy and is more concerned about his payday. As he had stated, while still in retirement, it would take half a billion to get him to leave his retirement. Let’s see if his forthcoming fights get him a $500 million payoff.

What is next for Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder? 

Fury came out of his retirement for a clash with Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed champion title. But before fighting Usyk, Fury revealed that he would fight Anthony Joshua in an all-British event, on December 3rd, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. However, the fight got shelved, and now Fury will Derek Chisora on the same date. 

On the other hand, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ might be seen fighting Fury for the fourth time. WBC has announced a title eliminator between Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr. The winner will get a shot to fight Fury for his WBC belt. 

Furthermore, there are rumors that Wilder might fight Anthony Joshua as well. The two are big favorites in the heavyweight division, and fans are excited to see the two fight. Meanwhile, the biggest clash that the world is waiting for is Fury vs. Usyk. Although a date has not been announced yet, it is speculated that it might take place in February 2023. Only time will tell how these fights play out.
