At this point in his career, Wilder just wants big major fights.
He couldn’t convince Anthony Joshua to get in the ring, but love him or hate him Tyson Fury is the next best thing.
Frank Warren insists a fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is a very realistic possibility stating it is “very close” to being done.
“Tyson wants the fight,” Warren told iFL TV. “Both of them want the fight. We are very close to getting it done.
“Tyson’s got to win his fight on the Belfast show on the 18th. He’s got to come through that. If he comes through that I believe we’ll be in a position to make it happen.
“I think it’s the biggest fight of the year. It’s a toss up out of that and Canelo-Golovkin. Biggest heavyweight without a doubt by far.”
Wilder representatives have also said they are working on the fight, but want to see how Fury looks on the 18th. It will be Fury’s second comeback fight after being away from boxing for two years for various reasons.
