Tyson Fury made history on Saturday night defeating Deontay Wilder for the WBC World Heavyweight Championship. Fury promised that he would take the fight to Wilder and changed his style to a more aggressive style in the famous Kronk gym with a new head trainer, Javan Sugar Hill.
Fury knocked down Wilder twice during the fight and Wilder was bleeding from the ear after an early shot from Fury. Wilder's corner stopped the fight and threw in the towel during the 7th round making Fury the new WBC Heavyweight champion.
Here are three possible directions that Fury could go in now that he's the WBC Champion:
1. A REMATCH WITH DEONTAY WILDER
On PBC on Fox it was mentioned that Deontay Wilder has 30 days to accept a rematch for the WBC title against Tyson Fury. Fury has two more fights left on his contract at Top Rank. Fury has said that he would like to do a rematch with Deontay Wilder and then do a match in MMA. The ball is in Deontay Wilder's court and we'll see if he wants a rematch with Fury after such a vicious beating in this past fight.
2. GOING BACK TO WWE
Braun Strowman as Intercontinental Champion
In October 2019, Tyson Fury faced Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel and defeated him. Now that Fury is the WBC Champion and Strowman is the Intercontinental Champion that could mean WWE might want to do a Champion vs. Champion match at Wrestlemania 36. Will Fury want to go to WWE? Only time will tell.
3. A FIGHT WITH ANTHONY JOSHUA
Anthony Joshua is currently the WBF, WBO, and IBF World Heavyweight Champion. Deontay Wilder wanted to do a unification match with Joshua but that never came to fruition for different reasons. Shawn Porter mentioned on PBC on Fox that Fury isn't interested in unifying the championships. That might change if enough money is put on the table.
On Saturday night, Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder to become the WBC Heavyweight Champion. Now he has options to make history in many different forms. I think he will take the rematch with Deontay Wilder. That will be a helluva fight.
