I think that it would be in Fury's best financial interests to fight Joshua next. It would surely break records for an all-British fight. I'm sure it would still make both men a big pile of money even if Fury loses to Wilder, but it wouldn't be as much as if they just went for it straight away. Not only that, but Wilder's a hard hitter, and Fury's well known for keeping his chin exposed. I can see Wilder landing some big shots, more so than anyone Fury's faced yet.

I think the Wilder vs Fury match only helps Joshua and Wilder. In the long run, they make more money.

It definitely help Joshua and Wilder, assuming Wilder takes the victory I think he will. For Fury, though, losing would reduce the allure of a potential clash with AJ. Joshua's laughing all the way to the bank whatever happens between the two, unless he loses to Povetkin.

I feel like Fury is massively under rated by some people and I'm not really a fan of the guy. He's got a very awkward style that troubles a lot of fighters. He is suspect to getting dropped but he always seems to bounce back. I think he'll beat Wilder but a fight with Joshua he'd lose on points.

Wilder is a puncher; Fury is liable to leaving his chin exposed. Wilder will knock Fury out.

I'm gonna watch though should be an interesting fight. The build up to it will be a complete nonsense though.

Do want Fury to win as it will set up the biggest fight in UK history.

Outside the ring Fury is a prick but you can't deny his quality in the ring.

Yeah, the idea of a huge UK Heavyweight match is alluring, but I've wanted to see Joshua vs Wilder. I'll get over Fury losing.

Would there be any chance of Joshua vs Wilder if AJ beat Fury?

Is this assuming that Fury beat Wilder or the other way round? Either way, I think Joshua is likely to face both at some stage. There are only so many high-profile heavyweights around, and Joshua, Fury and Wilder are by far the biggest draws.
