Bob Arum opens up about the possibility of making Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
Speaking to iD Boxing on YouTube, Arum spoke about a whole bunch of topics. At one point, Arum rubbished the rumors that the Usyk bout would fall through and Joshua would step in. He said, “Fury vs Usyk is not going to fall through, number one. Number two, I thought Joshua is scheduled to fight in April against some guy Franklin, alright.”
Despite this, Arum continued to explain that it could happen in the future. The promoted said, “Down the line, if Fury is successful and the best fight for him would be Anthony Joshua, and they don’t mess around like they did last time, I would certainly like to put that fight together, provided Joshua wins his fight in April. But again, we can’t have anybody messing around.”
Despite these comments, boxing fans will not hold their breath. We have been in the same position in the past and we are yet to see them in the ring. Therefore, until we see Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua in the ring, fans won’t believe it.
One thing is for sure, if the Fury vs Joshua fight happens, it will definitely be one of the sport’s biggest events.
What do you make of these comments from Bob Arum? Do you think we will see Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua at the end of the year?
