Well why didn’t Arum make sure a contract was signed before the arbitration hearing ? All very odd

I can't believe so much money was spent on Wembley & a retractable roof wasn't installed.

Not sure why such a fight with two British stars would have been anywhere else but Britain. Indeed Joshua insisted that any fight with wilder be in the U.K. whixh wasn’t a requirement with Fury….

Its positive that Arum feels that the undisputed fight isn't completely off the table.

I still believe Arum and Fury are 100% at fault and they should do EVERYTHING they call to get Eddie and AJ back on site to get this deal made. Providing Wilder doesn't put Fury out.

It would be great in front of some crowd, but don't put the cart before the horse, because they have two huge fights, big challenges ahead.

There could be an upset in one of the fights, if not both, although I favour Fury and Joshua, but it's tough fights.

Maybe because Fury said this.

I think if both make it through their next fights and Arum and Fury don't go for Wilder 4,5 and 6 then Hearn and Joshua should leave it all up to liar Bob and Fish eyes Frank to arrange everything and just harass them constantly and see if they can find anywhere near the amount of money that Hearn sourced for the fight that Fury ducked.

.. because a huge cheque became available from Saudia and the European fighters (unlike the coward bum Wilder who has never defended his belt without home advantage) are willing to fight away from home as they are world champions unlike the North American only champions Al Haymon demands.

Wilder and Haymon insisted all his defences were in the US against bought and paid for Haymon / King fighters ... again it's not Americans ... just Wilder.

The non casuals like the idea of boxing being a world sport which part of world champion did you not understand .. previous generations of US champions weren't scared of travelling.

Two Americans fighting a big fight in the World ...

The Thriller in Manila
The Rumble in the Jungle

.. you were against them ?? those were champions to be proud of.

Not a bad point, but those were very different situations. The idea that Joshua/Fury could make more money anywhere in the world than in Britain is kind of laughable. Until you factor in COVID ******ity. If the UK was still locked down- or even only allowed at partial capability- than overseas for this unification fight makes sense. But by next year? Early spring or late winter? There would be no reason not to take 2 British HW, the 2 biggest stars in HW boxing, a major fight for all 4 major belts, and not have it in their home country. It would make zero sense, and everyone knows it.

By the way, Wilder was willing to travel to defend the HW belt. It got cancelled due to failed drug tests by Mr. Povetkin. I am not a Wilder fan, but let's not do revisionist history.
