Looks like there's going to be a third fight I hope it's in London 

Wouldn't surprise me if Fury goes and fights him in Vegas again.  Fury seems to like fighting in "away" venues.  Plus, I am sure I saw that he has said he doesn't want to fight in the UK again - though I am sure that would change for an AJ fight.

Surely Wilder only got beat because of his 'Walk on' costume, nothing to do with being out boxed.

How dopey is it to have the biggest fight of your career and not have the basics down such as how heavy your walk out gear would be ?  To be fair, lugging 20 kilos around for a few minutes wouldn't have helped him, particularly if you look at how skinny his legs were (clearly misses leg day at the gym) but when your training camp is supposed to be looking at the fine details of how to win and, in Wilder's case, retain an unbeaten record...… to not know how heavy that walk out gear was is the height of stupidity...… the whole thing became more of a show than a fight.

40+ pounds and was only tried on the night before the fight?

 

Excuses I would think.  Far too much money for there not to be a 3rd fight I'd imagine yet I'd rather see Fury v Joshua.

They both made 19 million guaranteed with PPV expected to see that rise fairly significantly..... and the split was 50/50 - the trilogy fight would see the split 60/40 in Fury's favour…. No way Fury turns that down - and I am sure with the dismantling that Fury gave Wilder he would be more than confident of a repeat win... which would also then set him up for a super-fight with Joshua too.  There is probably more money in the trilogy fight for Fury than in a Joshua fight, strange though that sounds, because ticket prices in Vegas are ridiculous - and the PPV audience with an American participant would be higher as a higher number of interested viewers.
