Anthony Joshua has held the majority of the heavyweight title belts for a while now and there was always a sense that he would be able to compete for the undisputed title once Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder figured out their feud. Of course, Fury decimated Wilder the last time the two stepped into the ring and Joshua was foaming at the mouth for a chance to beat his fellow countryman. Well, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, Joshua and Wilder have worked out a two-fight deal that would come into effect in 2021.
The only issue is that Fury needs to fight Wilder for the third time and he is also scheduled to battle Dillian Whyte. Regardless, the consensus is that Fury will be able to get those jobs done, which will set up his unified fight with Joshua.
This fight will certainly be a treat for boxing fans as it is something they have been waiting for, for a long time. Many believed it would be Wilder who would defeat Fury and face Joshua but, of course, things just didn't work out that way. Either way, this is a huge development for the boxing world and can only mean good things moving forward for the heavyweight division.

Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury Get Heated Ahead Of Rematch: Watch
Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are about to give us a classic.
Over a year ago, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury stepped into the ring for what was eventually deemed a draw. Many felt as though Fury had the better fight but he was ultimately helped by a slow 10-count after being dropped by the heavy fist of Wilder. Since that match, both Fury and Wilder have gone undefeated and this Saturday, they will be fighting for the WBC Heavyweight Title. Whoever wins is expected to go on and fight Anthony Joshua to unite the Heavyweight division.
Yesterday, Wilder and Fury participated in the customary pre-fight press conference where they each had a nice little faceoff. As you can imagine, both fighters began bickering at one another before Wilder gave Fury a huge shove. Following this little face-to-face, both fighters began dissing each other. Wilder says he is the one that brought Fury into the mainstream and that he should be grateful. Fury echoed the same sentiments except he flipped it on Wilder, who couldn’t help but laugh.
These two clearly despise each other and this energy is about to make for a great fight. If you’re a boxing fan, Saturday night is about to be a must-watch. With this in mind, let us know in the comments below who you think is going to win, and why.
