Fury gets the opportunity to put on a dominant performance against a guy he knows he has the beating of and emerge undefeated, the lineal champ and the person most people would consider to be the real heavyweight champion. He'll be happy enough with that. He'll be looking forward to fighting either Usyk or Joshua next. Either fight is almost certainly going to be in Saudi and for massive money. Saudi want a massive undisputed fight for all the marbles and they're not bothered if it's two Brits or an Eskimo and an Aborigine, they'll come up with a massive cheque to buy the fight. Fury wins on Saturday and his name is on the cheque. Maybe he's even more motivated because he sees Joshua losing out in the rematch and can go on and make the huge purses while not having to let Joshua in on any of it.
I think Fury fights up or down to the level of his opponent. That's why he can put in a performance like the Wallin fight and then do what he did against Wilder. I'm expecting a replay of the second fight although Wilder obviously thinks he has a chance and will be throwing everything he has into it. I expect Fury to win though.
