Tyson Fury’s next fight will not be against Deontay Wilder. The highly-anticipated rematch has been the talk of the boxing world for quite some time now.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has signed heavyweight Tyson Fury to a co-promotional deal to fight on the ESPN platforms. Now it is Deontay Wilder’s turn. World titleholder Wilder is not currently signed to a promoter. And perhaps that’s why Arum promised to send the champion a “tremendous offer” including his anticipated Fury rematch. Wilder’s […]

Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel declined to give too many details on the offer. However, he did tell ESPN on Friday (Feb. 22, 2019) he had indeed received an offer from Top Rank for a multi-fight deal for Wilder that would include the rematch with Fury.
“They made an offer. I wrote back that we received it. We will review it and we will respond,” Finkel said. “If we are amenable to the offer, we will be able to get something done. If the terms are amenable to us, something will happen, If not, it won’t.”
Finkel explained that he would look the offer over with fellow co-managers Al Haymon and Jay Deas (Wilder’s trainer), as well as the man himself.
“We will all talk it through and then we will make a decision,” Finkel said. “That’s how we do it. But we want the rematch, so that is not the issue.”
Wilder, 33, is from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In the past, he had been aligned with Showtime and Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions. But he has said he is not contractually tied to any network.
With the Wilder and Fury camps nearing a deal, the WBC ordered them to fight next and set a purse bid date. Twice it was postponed. Then came Fury’s signing with Top Rank, leaving the rematch up in the air.
On Friday, Mauricio Sulaiman WMC President said that he has been in communication with each pugilist’s side to see where talks for the rematch stand.
“There will be no further comments until the WBC receives official communication from both sides by Tuesday, Feb. 26th,” Sulaiman said.

So much for April 27 as a possible date for the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury WBC heavyweight title rematch.
According to Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel, the April 27 date is now off the table (h/t Boxing Talk).
Wilder and Fury fought to a controversial split draw in their first go-round last December. After the classic fight, the WBC ordered a rematch. However, a May 18 date was shot down and now April 27 is a no-go. The WBC will now reportedly begin to put pressure on both boxers’ managers.
“I have personally been in communications with both parties regarding the matter,” WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said in a recent interview with Sunsport.
“Both have expressed that there
Anytime astronomical sums of money are on the line it takes a long time for both parties to get on the same page. That being said, these men are largely responsible for reviving heavyweight boxing. So hopefully everyone plays well and we get this fight sometime in the first half of 2019.
Boxing’s stagnating heavyweight division has seen a strong revival thanks to Wilder, Fury, and Anthony Joshua. Yet the inability to get the potentially huge fights made could halt that momentum.
