Tyson Fury confronted Deontay Wilder in the ring after the American heavyweight won his last fight

Tyson Fury is the most financially attractive opponent for every other heavyweight, Deontay Wilder’s promoter Lou DiBella has admitted.

Having claimed his WBA 'Super' and WBO titles from the long-reigning Wladimir Klitschko, Fury is preparing for a summer rematch but has already stoked the fire with WBC king Wilder.
Now the American's promoter has confessed that Fury - who confronted Wilder face-to-face in New York after his most recent defence - holds all the cards in the heavyweight division.

What's a bigger fight for Wilder than Fury? What's a bigger fight for Anthony Joshua than Fury?

Lou DiBella

Asked if Fury was the golden ticket, DiBella exclusively told Sky Sports: "I would say that's accurate.
"He beat the man. He beat a future Hall of Famer. If he wins again, he might be the biggest fight for every other heavyweight out there.

 

 

 

Deontay Wilder told Sky Sports he will show 'no mercy' if he fights Tyson Fury

"If he beats Klitschko again, what's a bigger fight for Wilder than Fury? What's a bigger fight for Anthony Joshua than Fury? What's a bigger fight for David Haye than Fury?
"If he beats Klitschko again, I think he's the golden goose."
While Fury gears up to face Klitschko for the second time, DiBella is mulling the possibilities for Wilder's next fight after the WBC granted them a voluntary defence.

 

 

 

Deontay Wilder retained his title with a knockout victory over Artur Szpilka

Remembering Fury's notorious ring invasion after Wilder's knockout win over Artur Szpilka earlier this year, DiBella has revealed he knew trouble was brewing.
He said: "Tyson pretty much told me that evening, before he got in the ring, 'expect me to put on a show, that's why I'm here'.
"There's no question [Wilder vs Fury] is a potential fight, but Fury has to get past Klitschko.

 

 

 

From Batman to fatman? Tyson Fury reveals belly - but Lou DiBella doesn't buy it...

"Tyson is crazy as a fox and I don't buy into him being a fat, out-of-shape guy. I expect, when he gets in the ring, he'll be in good shape. He's compelling as a personality.
"If Fury beats Klitschko again, [Fury vs Wilder] is an immense fight. It's certainly one that would be of huge interest in the US, in the UK, and worldwide. Two guys that are promotable and colourful, and a hell of a fight."
