Fear of losing. Tyson knew he couldn't beat Holyfield so he deliberately bit him to get disqualified, rather than lose or get knocked out same as their first fight.
Once Tyson had lost that intimidation factor, losing to Buster Douglas in Tokyo, he was never the same fighter. Wilder will be the same.

^^Saw that. Also read somewhere that he'd said he would have beaten an in-prime Mike Tyson. Fucking delusional...

Agree with all the above, and i also think Dillian Whyte is way under rated.
Since his (only?) loss to AJ and beating Derek War Chisora (another fighter who has got better with age), he has come on in leaps and bounds, and is one of THE MOST hard hitting dangerous boxers out there.
He'd destroy Wilder in 3.

^ He's a steroid abuser...like AJ

Wilder is back on smack:
(If this is true, and he really said this...)

Yep heard that on the news this morning too, what a wanker. he's said he'll take the option of a third fight too. Now i can't imagine how Fury will use yhe costume comment.

"Fury didn't hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me,"

I skipped a page and missed that. The guy's a fool, and if he takes the Fury fight straight away then he'll get beaten again.

I do not think that the third fight will happen regardless of what Wilder says. The money will not be there for a third fight as nobody will care to see it. Wilder got his ass kicked plan and simple. I expect he will step aside after finding a convenient excuse like a training injury or something so that Fury can fight Joshua. Mark my words the third fight will not happen before Fury-AJ.

^ Too much money at stake for him not to take the rematch imho.

It won't be if he is guaranteed to fight the winner of Fury-AJ.

^^Nah. The fight between Fury and AJ will be massive. Wilder will get 'step aside' money to wait in the wings and take a couple of tune-ups to get his confidence back again. Maybe change his style a bit too.

Apparently, for this fight Wilder got about US$40,000,000.

For the trilogy fight he'd get 40% of a lesser total, so a complete guestimate here, but maybe US$15,000,000 to US$20,000,000.

How much would he want to set aside and let Fury v Joshua? Maybe US$10,000,000 - not sure if he'll get it, maybe he would get half after negotiation? If he could get somewhere in that range and be signed up to fight the winner then he's on big bucks and has time to prepare.

Who says he is entitled to a rematch?

It's up to the various organisations to decide who is next in line for a title shot.

There is a contract. Fury signed a deal with ESPN that included a rematch clause for a third fight.

^ correct.

^^ 'Arry is all over the shop today...

Just said on sky sports news, that Wilder will be excercising the rematch clause.

Without the 40 pound Black Panther outfit no doubt.

Aye, turned him into a pussy.

Right, I have Wilder to win match 3 with a first round knockout - you heard it here first (and probably last too...).

But he can't fight for the title unless the WBC says he can. Dillian Whyte is the current WBC mandatory challenger.

And Joshua is supposed to fight Pulev.

So they have to make everyone happy whichever of the two bouts they fancy.

Hearn wants Fury to beat up Wilder again, which means Joshua will have to face Pulev or lose a title; Fury to face (in theory) Joshua; then Wilder to fight the winner.

That all takes a ton of negotiation.

Fucking hell, don't you chumps know anything?

^^ 'Arry is all over the shop today...

Twat.

Fucking hell, Wilder had a good old whinge didn't he?

Looks like Breland will be getting the P45 bomber for throwing in the towel.

Doesn’t Vince McMahon have to sign off any negotiations?

Best guess f all happens for months , never does.
Why have boxers and ufc fighters started moving their jaws about, like they're all tensed up?
Wilder did it after he took off that black history costume .
I'm sure they never used to do it.
