Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Wilder-Fury Rematch - Not Until February 2020

[R_Walken]

Arum keeps pushing a rematch further and further into the future . Probably because Fury & Arum dont want the rematch

I’m sure by Feb 2020 , Tyson will be the Mando for the WBO and a purse bid will be ordered . Amazingly this unexpected event will push the rematch talks furher into the future.

Unfortunately for fans the most likely scenario in 2020 will be Wilder with 1 strap , Fury with another and AJ with 2 all fighting on seperate platforms and unwilling to cross the street to make fights , the likely hood of having a undisputed HW champ anytime soon becoming almost non existent

Boxing seems to be the only sport that loves punching itself in its own d.ick and turning everything into a cluster f.uck sh.it show that continually makes itself look like a joke to outsiders

Why do you keep lying to make the deals look worse? It wasn't a 5 fight deal. It was $12.5 mil for him to fight Breazeale and then a Fury fight for $20 mil. Both the DAZN and ESPN deals were much better than fighting on regular Showtime.

Robbie Parrot with another fabrication

The Espn deal wasn’t for Breazeale then Fury next. It was a 5 fight deal which didn’t guarantee Fury would be next after Breazeale or even the the next opponet after that

By all means prove me wrong with evidence from a credible source that Espns offer was for 2 fights and a guaranteed Fury rematch in the fall

What fight offer did Wilder make Joshua? Joshua offered 40% which would have been on Showtime with no fights inbetween and Wilder ignored it. Stop lying man. You know Wilder ducked.

Do all brits have their heads up their rear ends like Robbie Barrett. What is there to duck? Ortiz was much more dangerous for Wilder and he starched him. If an old Klitschko who looked like a shot fighter against Fury can drop you then Wilder will destroy you. Why would Wilder duck a guy who had his nose busted by Povetkin? One good right by Wilder and what will A.J's schnoz look like? Hint: crushed! This fight probably won't even been that great. BOMB SQUAD! What is in the water in Britain? What the F..K!

Fury is a ****ing joker. He needs to go on another coke binge & go away permanently!

What is in the water in Britain?

They're loyal to their fighters. It's admirable, if not a bit childish.

Remember, only British fans are so obsessive that Warren was able to convince them Hatton's WBU title was legit. British fans are the best fans in the world. They'll believe anything they're told, which is the best type of fan if you're a boxing promoter.

Top Rank offered Wilder a multifight deal to fight an interim bout for $12.5 million this summer followed by a rematch worth at least $20 million with Fury in the fall, but he turned it down

Sit down little man.

You make a great point although loyalty is different from "blind faith". Why Would Wilder duck Joshua. He is chomping at the bit to knock his arse out. Don't be surprised if Miller upsets Joshua who is a glorified Frank Bruno!

Joshua is a great fighter. Much better than Frank Bruno was. Joshua is more likely to be remembered on par with a Lennox Lewis than a Frank Bruno.

The idea that Wilder is ducking Joshua is ridiculous, but that's no reason to insult Joshua. He unified three world titles at a young age and has knocked out numerous top ten opponents. He deserves everyone's respect.

I won't be surprised if Miller upsets Joshua though. I hold Miller in very high esteem and although I wouldn't make him the betting favorite against Joshua, Wilder or Fury, on a good night he's capable of beating any of them.

Only reason to make this in 2020 is if Arum is trying to get Fury as the WBO mandatory and have him face AJ first.

Which would be nice, but I doubt it.

Hopfully Wilder makes a grab for the DAZN megabucks against Joshua once he sees just how little he'll get for Breazeale. Wonder if Fury will still look to fight Wilder 18 months away with no belt on the line?
