Anthony Joshua Agrees Terms to Fight Tyson Fury on December 3rd (or not)

Yes, he should have, because Chisora is on his way down and has been for 5 years. Literally nobody wants to see him beat a man he has already beaten twice and is worse now than the first time he beat him.

Helenius isn't a tomato can, but he isn't top 10 either. It made sense for Wilder to fight him, and I didn't say he was the ideal opponent for Fury, only that he would be a better option than Chisora. I stand by that.

So he’s not top 10 but he’s comfortably top 20. Does that mean wilder has just beat a top 15 heavyweight?

Let me guess, you have Helenius at 16

For what it’s worth I don’t think Helenius would even be in my top 20, he is awful but I’d have to look at the division properly.

Yes possibly, it made sense for him to fight that level, it's the level that makes him look good, but go another 5 places up and a he looks poor, and another 10 places up and a he gets schooled

To be fair, comparing Wilder and AJ's next opponent to Fury doesn't make sense.
Wilder is coming off the back of 3 defeats to Fury. (We all know the first fight should have went Fury's way as well). AJ is coming off the back of two beatings from Usyk. Neither of them hold belts.
They are both entitled to drop down and take on a lesser opponent. Gain back a bit of confidence.

Fury on the other hand is a world champion coming off the back off a pretty routine win over Whyte.... He shouldn't be fighting a has-been who he's already beaten twice.
