I really hope not, for the sake of boxing am praying Fury wins twice. That’s the only way we would see the undisputed fight. Wilder would not fight Joshua. It’s not the PBC/Haymon model.

LMAO....Fury reminds him of HW version of Leonard with his style and antics. Of course he wants Wilder to win......

You really think Arum is gonna let Fury fight on DAZN? When did you start watching boxing?

Even Tyson fury himself said he saw the offer team wilder and al haymon sent to Eddie hearn and proof of funds for 50 million dollars and that Joshua's team turned it down.. even though i don't like wilder you gotta be subjective

They don’t need to fight on DAZN. Both can and would show the fight. Whoever wants to pay 80 dollars can pay that to ESPN, or whoever wants to sign up to DAZN for just the fight can do so. But I know both would be willing to sit down and negotiate. Which is the number one thing needed.

Yep, he saw the same bag than Frank Warren saw, to be honest I couldn’t care less about those phantom offers. Am about making the fight. Sitting down and negotiating.

I agree with Hagler. In all honesty however, that fight should have happened a long time ago had Eddie Hearn and Matchroom never stoppped stalling and delaying it. They knew AJ wasn't ready for Wilder. Why couldn't Eddie just come out and say so to the public?

Like Tyson Phooey has said in recent interviews, this is the UK vs. America -- Although he has distance himself from his disappointed countrymen by trashing the UK fans and media for lack of praise and support.

The Brits, I can tell are still salty about our great American middleweight champion 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler whooping the racist Alan Minter : Minter publicly stated that he "did not intend to lose his title to a black man".

What has race have to do with Wilder-Fury some of you might wonder? 'Till This Day.' came about as a response from Wilder when Tyson publicly cried that he was treated unfairly because he is a Gypsy.

Hagler-Minter ALSO came about because of a 'Draw'. Fans and experts believed that Marvin Hagler should of been the WBA-WBC Middleweight unified champion of the world leading up to Alan Minter, as they saw Marvin Hagler beat Vito Antuofermo in a 15 rounder.

Alan Minter went on to beat Vito Antuofermo by split-decision for the two belts. Like Otto Wallin, Hagler claimed that he soften Vito Antuofermo up for Alan Minter, and took credit for Minters victory.

Lastly Marvin Hagler got two shots at the lineal middleweight championship, as already stated Hagler got a 'Draw' the first time but finally triumph on the second try. Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder will also get his second chance this Saturday and WILL become the THE MAN like Marvin Hagler.

BOMBSQUAD!!!

Listen to Arum on the SI boxing podcast. He asked that same question and what you suggested wasn’t the answer. I don’t wanna mess up the quote.
