WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE GYPSY KING?
THE REMATCH is the most obvious sequel to the world heavyweight title draw between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. The alternative is a fight between Wilder, who is still the WBC king, and Anthony Joshua, with his several alpha-belts, to find the first undisputed heavyweight champ since Lennox Lewis. Either would be a blockbuster and Wilder said: ‘It is my ambition to unify all the belts but if Joshua won’t do it I’m very happy to fight Fury again.’ Wilder’s co-promoter Shelly Finkel said: ‘If that other promoter (Eddie Hearn) calls tomorrow and says they really want the fight we can start negotiations all over again.’ Joshua may press for that to happen, as he is at risk of being left behind in the wake of Saturday night’s epic. Fury is itching for a second shot at Wilder and his promoter Frank Warren will argue that it is his turn to fight ‘on home turf in a football ground’.
