12/20/2023 0 Comments Wilder vs fury 3 date![]() “I would venture to say that absent the accident that happened with Spence, we would now be talking about a Crawford-Spence fight with a date and a venue firmly in place, but I saw that Spence was sitting behind me. Arum not sure if Spence will fight Crawford For that reason, he would be more willing to lose out on a lot of money from a Middleast country in order to make his British boxing fans happy by staging the fight in the UK. Joshua is someone that could continue fighting successfully for another 10 years, and he’s going to have a lot of opportunities to massive money. NEWS: John Fury on Oleksandr Usyk: "It looks like his body has departed from him" Fury is about to retire, and his fight against Joshua will be his last before hanging up his gloves. His situation is different than Joshua’s. ![]() While Joshua, 29, might be on board with having the fight staged in the UK, Fury may resist that idea if it means that it brings in far less money. Fury fight will place in the Middle East rather than the UK. So it’s going to be tough to get Tyson away from Las Vegas, but I would think that a Fury-Joshua fight will take place in England or the Mideast,” said Arum. Las Vegas is Tyson Fury’s kind of town, just as it was Elvis Presley’s town. “If Joshua survives the Pulev fight, a Fury-Joshua fight would pretty much definitely take place outside of Las Vegas, whether in the UK or the Mideast. Joshua could take place in the UK or Mideast Pulev likely wouldn’t be fighting for a world title at all if the International Boxing Federation didn’t make it easy by sanctioning an eliminator between him a Hughie Fury. Oleksandr Usyk: "Both men don't have power" He doesn’t have the power of Wilder, who is able to make for his lack of skills by having the biggest punch in the division. Pulev is a blue-collar type of heavyweight contender, and he lacks the skills that you would see with an elite level heavyweight like Joshua. Fury 3 fight outside of Las Vegas.Īrum doesn’t even want to entertain the idea of his fighter Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) losing to Joshua. That’s always a possibility certainly,” said Arum when asked if he would consider taking the Wilder vs. I would have no problems working with him on a big unification show, but I’m telling you, it ain’t going to happen. There won’t be an Anthony Joshua after June 20. “Anthony Joshua is getting knocked out on June 20th at Tottenham Stadium in London by my guy Kubrat Pulev,” said Arum. Joshua will lose to Pulev on June 20 – predicts Arum If Fury wins that fight and if Anthony defeats Kubrat Pulev, then those two will be fighting in December possibly. After just three fights with Top Rank, Fury is the WBC heavyweight champion, and he’ll be enjoying a 60-40 split for the third fight with Wilder. “So again, until we speak to the other side in which we had a tremendous relationship in this last fight, I can’t definitively give you the date for the third fight,” said Arum.Īrum is happy that things have worked out for him in signing Fury. NEWS: Oleksandr Usyk reminds Tyson Fury: "I'm here" “July 18th is the last date, and then there are injury provisions and that sort of thing. The contract provides a date of July 18th as the final date of the fight, but of course, we’ll be discussing all options in the next day or two,” said Fury’s promoter Bob Arum to ESPN. “We’ll be discussing that with the PBC people that promote Wilder. With Fury saying that he’s retiring after 2 more fights, it forced Wilder’s hand to exercise the rematch clause. Fury wouldn’t wait around for Wilder to get the tune-up fights out of the way, and a new contract between them wouldn’t likely be as favorable as the rematch. What Wilder needs is a confidence booster, and a couple of tune-up fights, but he’s elected to trigger the rematch clause to force the third fight. Fury’s size and overall talent advantage was too for the 6’7″ Wilder to overcome. The 273-lb Fury used his big 42lb weight advantage to maul, beat up and stop the 231-lb Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) in the 7th round. That’s the kind of defeat that a fighter doesn’t forget for a long time, and it’s a wrong-headed move for Wilder to be rushing straight into a third fight with Fury. Wilder needs to mentally and physically recover from his defeat. It would work to Wilder’s benefit to have it take place as late as possible because he’s coming off of a bad loss to Fury on February 22.
