3. Autumn 2018/ Spring 2019 winner of fight 2 (the undisputed, undefeated heavyweight champion) then takes on the lineal undefeated champion Tyson Fury. This would be the first time in history that there is a fight between two undisputed, undefeated heavyweight champions and will be even bigger than fight 2.

Obviously, Fury will need to get fit and then have a couple of tune up fights to make fight 3 happen - and he will have to win both of these easily to make this work but if he can do it then what a set of fights this would be. Rating the boxers compared to history or not it will in time go down as a legacy of great fights for the era. 4 undefeated world champions fighting each other one after the other to determine who is the best. it has never happened before and it may never happen again.

It will make money, it will make history and it will make the fans happy.

The only logical thing to do IMO.
Sounds good, and I’m being devil’s advocate here, but why does Wilder have to wait till the summer?
