Bob Arum: Fury-Usyk “It’s bound to happen and it’s going to happen in the first four months of next year”

“The two boxers have agreed to fight each other next.” So the legendary American promoter Bob Arum said Sports sky. As Arum said, both Fury, who holds the WBC and heavyweight titles, and Usyk, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles, are professionals who know what to do. to make the war between them turn into a fierce one. reality. “With Fury and Usyk, we’re dealing with two adults,” Arum said, “not much back and forth. Usyk is a good friend of mine, he’s very smart, and Tyson is Superman, both as an athlete and as an intellectual.” If the two men go head to head next, it will be to see who is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Arum indicated that the process of making the necessary agreements should be smooth, especially by the infuriating standards set by recent high-level negotiations. “Both want to fight,” he said. “We will be able to make that happen. I am very, very confident. Like I said, the fighters have all agreed to fight each other next without any temporary wars.” Fury’s final bout was the destruction of old friend and nemesis Derek Chisora a few weeks ago while Usyk was last seen edging out ex-footballer Anthony Joshua in their rematch last summer. .
Arum went on to add that the Fury-Usyk battle will take place “in the first four months of next year,” although questions about the time and place remain unanswered. “Now the question is what is the date and what is the website,” Arum said. “But that war is bound to happen.” Obviously any fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown would be a big deal, so Arum, Fury’s co-promoter, wanted to make sure the venue would be on par with the event that he won. it will organize.
“We’re balancing some important offers from the Middle East,” he said, “and also potentially making the UK game at Wembley with a huge 95,000 spectators in attendance.” Arum went on to say, “We’ll have it all sorted out…I hope it could be by the end of the year.” That’s a pretty tall order considering the fact that there’s less than two weeks to go until 2022. Still, the Fury vs Usyk fight is something fans will definitely want to see happen soon. After all, there hasn’t been an undisputed heavyweight champion since April 2000, when Lennox Lewis reigned supreme.
