Comments Thread For: Arum: Third Fury-Wilder Fight Probably Will Be Held Outside Of U.S. & UK

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum remains hopeful that the third Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight can happen in November or December. Fury's co-promoter is a lot less optimistic about Fury-Wilder III taking place in the United States, where their first two fights were held. Arum told BoxingScene.com on Tuesday that their third WBC heavyweight championship match "probably" will be staged outside of the U.S. because COVID-19 restrictions could prevent crowds from attending sporting events there through the end of this year.

Abu Dhabi or Monte Carlo! Both would pay big bucks.. And Arum is about that coin!

I doubt PBC would let Wilder leave America.

Interesting. As soon as I saw the headline I figured it was going to one of the Gulf States.

There's a huge British ex-pat presence in Australia. The virus situation is much more positive here (touch wood). Why not bring it to Sydney, sell out an arena and have that great Brit fan atmosphere?

Bring it to Canada!!!! The west coast hasn't had a big fight since the 60s or 70s . U fortunately that won't happen as its not the right demographic it would end up somewhere in queued if it ended up in Canada

You ever notice that for us when we go live in other peoples countries we are “ex pats” but anyone coming to live in our country are called “immigrants?”
