Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren wants the new WBC heavyweight champion to fight fellow Brit Anthony Joshua next in a world title unification bout but says Deontay Wilder will first have to be persuaded to forgo an immediate rematch.
Fury claimed the WBC title in Las Vegas on Saturday with a seventh-round stoppage of Wilder, who fought the Briton to a split-decision draw in their first meeting in December 2018.
Wilder said this week that he would exercise his option of a third fight but Warren said he does not want to delay a mouth-watering match-up with Joshua, who holds the other three titles.
“I prefer to go straight to Joshua but that’s the contract,” Warren told the BBC. “If he insists on the fight, we’re locked into it.
“It has to be honoured unless we reach some accommodation for him to step aside. We could pay him to step aside if he wants to do that, but that’s his choice.
“It would be lucrative for him, but I have spoken to his manager and Deontay does believe he has the beating of Tyson, and he can knock him out,” added Warren.

win to get rich,
get beaten to get rich,
avoid fighting to get rich.

a sport for the brave heart,
that is boxing for you.

Tyson Fury has got no time to waste i guess... Coupled with the fact that fighting Joshua now means a larger financial windfall than Wilder.

Boxing, very lucrative sport. After a few minutes of punches thrown left, right and center... Millions of dollars made.

With so much cash being at stake, only cowardice will stop AJ from fighting Fury.

You stated the obvious.
AJ has always had larger pay days in boxing than Wilder.
A Fury/AJ match may end up being that with the highest financial windfall ever in a boxing match and highest attendance..
