Both boxers truly showed the worth in the fight and proved their worth as two of the three best boxers in heavyweight.

Joshua is in the corner waiting for a winner from this bout and will have to wait even more for the outcome of the re-fight.

He’s not the only one waiting as his name dominated Twitter conversations after the Wilder Vs Tyson fight.

The opinions were divided on Twitter as some believe he is better than the two boxers in the ring while others believe he is no match.

Despite not being the boxer in action, mentions of his name got him to the third trending item on Twitter Nigeria.

“Book Wilder/Joshua in April. I havnt seem tonight’s fight but sounds like Fury was robbed. Can always come back to rematch. Joshua & his camp seem to be dodging these guys #boxing,” @dave35price said.

 

“Since Tyson fury and Wilder refuse to beat themselves they are not fit to fight the main champion Anthony Joshua, we will be waiting on Derick  Chisora and Dillian White on 22 of this moth to know who will face Joshua on 13 of April 2019,” @Doyen_king said.

 

The split decision was also  a top of debate on Twitter as many believe Fury was the clear winner.
