Arum: Wilder Has No Rights To Third Fury Fight, Claim Will Be Denied
December 4, 2020
The third fight had been set down for a date in July, but then it was postponed several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Eventually, Fury and his handlers proclaimed that Wilder's rematch clause had expired - and they were planning to move forward in another direction.
Wilder, strongly believing that his rematch clause is still valid, has initiated a legal action to enforce his rights and both sides are now in mediation.
Arum expects his side to win the meditation.
“It's one thing to bring a claim and it's a second thing to be successful. I believe that Wilder has no rights any longer for a third fight and therefore his claim will be denied. But I can't stop them from thinking otherwise and taking it to litigation," Arum told Marc Gatford via the Betway Insider blog.
"The contract says Wilder's rights ran out at the end of October and I really believe that contract displays clearly that Wilder does not have a claim for a third fight. Wilder had some surgery but that was taken care of in the contract, a 90-day delay from the date of the proposed rematch in July - and that has ran out..."
HAHAHAHAHA
