Supposedly Wilder is fighting Helenius in October. I wonder if they make that fight for the vacant belt if Fury does vacate since, somehow, Wilder is still the WBC’s top ranked contender.
Despite that, Wilder is the best option to replace Fury, if indeed he keeps his decision of retirement
I don’t know about that Burucho, I think it may be time for some new blood. Now that I look at it, Joyce is #2 and Parker is #3, they fight in a few weeks, maybe that could be for the vacant belt rather than a #1 who hasn’t won a fight in almost three years vs Helenius who is #10 right now.
Last I checked, Fury said he retired. Nuff said.
He got the connection for the protection. Nuff said.
LOL
Ok.
If fury fights again, Does he really need a belt?? No..
Gives him time to unretire after the Usyk v AJ fight
That boy needs attention
YA KNOW THEN ALL THIS BULL… IF TYSON IS RETIRED THEN USYK AND JOSHUA SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THE UNDISPUTED TITLE AND BE DONE WITH IT… NOT SAYING WILDER SHOULDN’T GET A CHANCE BUT HE AINT FOUGHT NOBODY SINCE THE FLOOD… WE NEED AN UNDISPUTED CHAMP
Puppet organization. This shows the WBC is not about progress and moving forward but about $$$. They want to be there to cash-in on sanctioning fees if Fury does decide to come back.
Good points
WBC = We Be Corrupt.
The dosser must retire for good because I am tired of his childish ‘I’ll retire, I’ll unretire’ games. Beating a faded Wladi and an unskilled, but massive punching, Wilder is not bad but it is not great.
He will retire, just so he can come back an become 3 time champ
I thought he retired and if he did the sanctioning bodies have got to haveA fight off for his title I wish he’d make up his fucking mind
“The organization has set Friday, August 26th as the final day to receive official written confirmation from them.”
What, exactly, is the WBC gonna do if Fury and his people don’t get back to him? Strip him? Less than six months after making a *mandatory* defense and adhering to every other rule the WBC imposed on him to keep that ridiculous strap of theirs?
I know he’s said he’s retired and all, but unless and until he notifies the WBC that he relinquishes their title? They aren’t in a position to set a deadline for him to do anything without risking a lawsuit.
