Tyson Fury picked up a 7th round TKO victory over Deontay Wilder early this year to win the WBC heavyweight championship. In the process, Fury also picked up the lineal heavyweight championship, and The Ring heavyweight championship. The Gypsy King will next take on Anthony Joshua in 2021, after signing a two-fight contract with the current champion. However, Fury will have to once again get past Deontay Wilder, as both the boxers will face off against each other once again in the trilogy bout later this year. The winner of that match will evidently go on to fight Anthony Joshua in a title unification bout in early 2021.
In an interview on the Queensbury Promotions YouTube channel, Fury said: “Deontay Wilder is the second best heavyweight in the world. I believe he knocks Anthony Joshua out and everyone behind me.”
