3.Wladimir Klitschko 

Klitschko, who lately lost his titles to Fury by losing through unanimous decision, will desire to make a huge comeback for sure. The renowned fighter possesses a track record of 64-4 with 53 knockouts and will probably face Wilder soon, after the rematch with Fury, for the WBC title.

4.Dillian Whyte 

Dillian Whyte, another unbeaten British fighter, holds a track record of 16-0 with 13 knockouts. He’s going to face Joshua after which he’ll definitely want another big fight and what can be better than a title shot? Whyte is a worthy candidate for Wilder’s upcoming fights.

5.David Haye 

David ‘Haymaker’ Haye has recently announced his comeback to boxing after a long time. He is a renowned fighter who possesses a track record of 26-2 with 24 KOs. Hayemaker is going to face Mark de Mori in the ring after which he’ll possibly challenge Wilder for a title fight.
