Chisora, seems kind of pointless at this stage. Dude has lost 12 times and gets a title shot.

Could be interesting, both big hitters.

 

Another of Wilder’s sparring partners getting a dodgy KO in the first round.

I guess Helenius is next in line for coaching Wilder…

No point listening to any of the random gibberish Fury spouts lol.

 

Call me crazy, but I still think Joshua could give Wilder and Fury a tough time.

He still has good movement and a skillset, it'll be harder for Wilder to find him with his right or for Fury to just maul him like he did to Wilder the last two fights. Both fights would be intriguing.

 

Mentality could be an issue after his recent losses and his chin is unfortunately not what you’d expect looking at the guy, but he has the size not to get easily bullied and the punch power to cause them problems if he actually throws (has been too guarded in recent fights) and lands cleanly (not easy against Fury). It would certainly shake up the division if he did beat one of them.
