‘Maybe We’ll Breathe Some Life Into Wilder’ – Bob Arum Hints Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3 Could Still Happen

The Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua bout has been the talk of the sport for a while now. However, before the two heavyweights had a deal in place, there were rumors that Tyson Fury would entertain a trilogy with Deontay Wilder. And promoter Bob Arum has now hinted at that fight.

The Fury-Joshua fight still has a few obstacles to overcome before they can officially announce the fight. Fans have already started getting with the constant delays, and it appears even Arum is frustrated with the delay in the event.

The promoter spoke to Boxing Scene and hinted that they would move on to the Wilder trilogy. “Maybe we’ll breathe some life into Wilder, and Fury will fight Wilder and Joshua will fight (WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr) Usyk,” said Arum.

This comment showed Arum’s patience is running out. Therefore, he suggested that both heavyweights should consider fighting the opponents who they initially had to fight. However, the American is famous for saying things, and thus, fans will not buy into it.

Bob Arum lashed out at Eddie Hearn for being late

The undisputed title fight got a massive boost when reports suggested that a record-breaking $150 million from Saudi Arabia. However, the reports also confirmed that Eddie Hearn and Matchroom still had to wait for a binding contract before anything was official.

Arum has now commented on that issue as well. “last time I talked to Eddie was early last week, and he said he was going to have a signed agreement from the Saudis in 24 hours. Well, he’s a little late. Wouldn’t you be pessimistic if you haven’t heard from him or anybody for a week?” asked Arum.

This comment showed that Fury’s camp was aware of the offer; however, they are yet to see anything substantial. Therefore, it is no surprise that Arum threatened to move on if there were any other delays.
