“I think there is definitely a possibility of a fourth fight. [with Fury],’ he said. ‘Boxing is a business. Many people call it a sport, but it is not a sport.

‘The heavyweight division is very small. I’m still a big shot in the business, especially here in America. As long as we’re all in the same division and we’re all still fighting currently, why not? It can only lead to that. Having said all that, it’s definitely a possibility.

Joshua is another heavyweight who will have to do the same after back-to-back losses to Usyk, but Wilder hopes the Brit will return to the top tier, despite criticizing areas of his game.

“I think if he can correct that, you will see a different Joshua. You won’t see one that hesitates to throw punches and do things that much, especially when he came close to catching it. [Usyk] out of there.

‘If Usyk says he wants to give me a shot at the titles, then that’s what I’ll keep to his word.

“I always tell people I don’t look past the fighters, but I do look through them, there’s nothing wrong with that, being confident and looking forward.”
