By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) says he wants to whip the 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko in their rematch in 2016, and then target WBC talent Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) to try and take him out of the picture to snatch his strap. Fury, 27, says he’s really interested in the Wilder fight, as well he should.
It’s a fight that would bring Fury huge, huge money if he can get the fight. Never mind the fact that Wilder’s recent title defense against little known contender Artur Szpilka only brought in 500,000 viewers on Showtime Championship Boxing in the United States, a fight between Wilder and Fury would bring in huge ratings in the UK and the U.S. It would be a pay-per-view worthy fight in the UK, and would likely sellout a stadium.
