The heavyweight division of boxing is cluttered with some exciting match-ups coming up in the near future. Recently, Deontay Wilder made his long-awaited boxing return and became the talk of the town as he defeated Robert Helenius with a classic first-round knockout. Following that, his long-time rival Tyson Fury shared something on his Instagram which is making a buzz on the internet. 

Tyson Fury shared a post by former boxer Shannon Briggs, which stated, “The WBC are now expected to order Deontay Wilder vs Andy Ruiz Jr as a final eliminator to determine Tyson Fury’s next mandatory challenger for his WBC heavyweight world title.”

‘The Gypsy King’ added the post to his Instagram story, and wrote, “Wow, if Wilder wins, he will be mandatory to fight me again!”

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder is one of the most sensational rivalries in the current boxing scene. The two heavyweights have so far engaged in three fights. If Wilder prevails over Ruiz Jr. in their expected fight, he would be eligible to face Tyson Fury in a fourth fight. On the other hand, Andy Ruiz Jr. just came off a victory against Luis Ortiz. If it does, it will be thrilling to witness Ruiz and Wilder in the ring.

‘The Gypsy King’ accepted Oleksandr Usyk’s challenge for a potential fight following the latter’s victory against Anthony Joshua. However, it was later disclosed that Fury will first fight Joshua in an all-British event at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on December 3rd. But there seemed to be some change of plans, and Fury revealed that he will fight Derek Chisora in a trilogy fight on the same day, instead of AJ. Chisora, however, recently dismissed it as mere gossip.

Chisora was in conversation with ‘iFL TV’, where he was asked about his clash with Fury. He replied, “No, no. It’s just rumors, it’s like someone saying you’ve been cheating on his wife, no its a rumor.”

Furthermore, he also denied that he has been negotiating a contract to fight Fury. Is Chisora just keeping it private until the contract is signed? Or is he really not going to fight Fury? We can’t really be sure. Only time will tell how this situation plays out.
