I'm actually quite surprised he could fit in it

His deal with ESPN is supposed to be worth $100m.

I guess 3 will be 3.3.2030.

As much as Fury goes on about being fitter etc an he will 'win' even more convincingly, this time. Wilder knows he can knock him down and hard too. Plenty has been said about how Fury will do in the return and seemingly not so much for Wilder. My guess is Wilder is even more confident of putting him down for good this time. Wilder can be shite for the majoirty of his fights, and usually is, but it hasn't mattered so far, in terms of outcome. For me, the only fight where he looked like a boxer was the 1st Stiverne fight, so he can if he has too but that wouldn't work against Fury, if he's considering that route. The likelihood is it'll be a re-run of the 1st fight but with Wilder nailing him for the count, making Fury's superior skill set, null and void

actually it did matter in terms of outcome in the fury fight, because he scored multiple kds but didnt win because he wasnt doing good enough earlier. most fights where a guy scores 2 kds and the other guy scores none, the guy with the kds wins

Obviously in this fight yes - you can see that I am implying that Wilder will finish the job this time around. I hope I am wrong though.

Diffcult to predict. If Fury manteins the concentration for the whole fight, he will win.

1. I just want to see a great fight, regardless of the result.

2. My preferred result is Wilder by KO.

How is this a duck?
Fury is the one who waited over a year for the rematch facing scrubs.
Now there's an opportunity to unify instead of the rematch and Wilder is ducking?
Why not a unification first with the winner getting Fury?
It's better for the sport

Yeah I'd prefer to see an unification fight.

Fury can always then fight the winner of that. Even if Wilder was to lose in an unification fight, he would no doubt stipulate a rematch clause. Then after that there would still be interest in a fight with Fury. So he would have a minimum of three pay days.

But it does feel slightly like Wilder is doing his best to avoid any fight that could potentially derail said big pay days.

Their past couple of fights are not relevant to what I posted above. They've already signed to fight each other and he's talking about avoiding it. Fury is facing scrubs, Wilder is taking fights that he knows he will win.

He would rather unify now after all this "trying to unify" for the past few years, because he thinks he will beat Ruiz? Because there's potential for a PBC vs PBC unification? Why would it happen now after years of failure? He knows he could very likely lose to Fury as he should have done the last time and miss out on his payday.

The unification probably wouldn't happen until the summer which would give him plenty of time to prepare even if he takes the Fury fight. No need to unify then face Fury after.

Can you answer why Fury is the one who turned down the immediate rematch?
Was that Wilder ducking him?

Fury most definitely ducked it. But only a lunatic would have taken an immediate rematch in America after the judging in the first. Wilder had no intention on going to the UK, so Fury is doing the sensible thing in building his profile in Vegas

He's not building a damn thing fighting scrubs

So, team Fury is likely to fail with their marinating of the rematch. Wilder looked ready to face Fury immediately. However, Fury was ready too, but then he signed with grandpa Bob and all this sh!t began. Anyway, if Fury is a mandatory and doesn't agree to take step-aside money, will Wilder be stripped? Will he decide to go for 3 belts instead of 1, if a real opportunity of that appears.

They've ducked each other at separate times. Fury took the money by sighing with ESPN but also signed for the rematch. Wilder apparantly wanted the immediate rematch but is now looking to avoid the signed rematch.

More belts would only make the rematch bigger. Who knows maybe Tyson can put his Mayan belt on the line by then as well.

Easy to make Wilder vs Ruiz if Ruiz wins, but what if AJ wins?

At the tender age of 40 years old Luis Ortiz will finally take the "WBC Heavyweight Championship of the World" from pampered & protected funnyman deontay wilder by violent knock out.

after title & trinket got blatantly stolen & corruptly withheld from lineal heavyweight champion tyson fury in a criminally staged split decision following his clear cut win over said alabama gagster.

mr. wilder is widely ridiculed for his fabricated knockout record & ludicrous choice of words &inferior opposition up until his first encounter with ortiz that he only survived as "champion" because of corrupt interference orchestrated by wilder's handlers and executed by crooked & corrupted referee & ring doctor.

his reign will be remembered as a riotous farce, a sadly comical footnote in the history of the heavyweight championships of the world.

fury will then beat up a titleless wilder just for the fun of it, a helpless wilder retiring on his stool not coming out for the 8th.
