If Fury loses his WBC title against Wilder, he might opt for another run in WWE. That said, it won’t be an easy job for Deontay Wilder to defeat ‘The Gypsy King’. The ‘Bronze Bomber’ has failed to conquer Fury twice, losing the second fight against him via a stoppage.

After the Deontay Wilder trilogy, Fury has also been touted to face Anthony Joshua for a heavyweight title unification fight.
