Fury vs Wilder rematch in doubt after ESPN deal

- JACK RATHBORN

Tyson Fury has complicate­d the heavyweigh­t landscape by landing a lucrative multi-year deal with ESPN for his exclusive US broadcasti­ng rights.

Frank Warren has also relinquish­ed some of Fury’s promotiona­l rights to Bob Arum’s Top Rank in a major power move as the dust settles since Anthony Joshua announced his US debut to defend his world heavyweigh­t titles vs Jarrell Miller.

The responsibi­lity should not have fallen on Fury to match with Deontay Wilder for a second time or make the ultimate all-British super fight against Joshua – he must look out for No 1.
