Bob Arum: Nobody cares about Usyk, Fury vs AJ is NEXT

[removed]

Usyk beats a few CWs & a journeyman HW and thinks he can get in the way of the biggest fight in boxing?

lol

That little midget from Ukraine can sit his ass down.

No he won't, the Wbo can approve a Unification over a mandatory at their discretion and do you think they will want the sanctioning % from AJ vs Fury or Parker vs Usyk in front of 3000 in Auckland.

Usyk is getting no title shot for at least the next 18 months.

Hearn will tell Joshua to drop WBO belt, so Parker and Usyk can fight for it.

Hearn knows Fury beats Joshua and he won`t allow a full unification for 4 belts.

Wait and see. Than Joshua can fight Usyk -Parker winner for WBo belt.

I feel sorry for Bob. He’s old and the pandemic keeps going. He wants to see this fight before his time comes..

Thing is until the vaccine happens with proper efficiency then we won’t see people in seats. 80K stadium for AJ vs Fury is great, but you want to do that when the coast is clear. That’s not going to happen until 2021 at least.. I think Arum is more worried about his own health than Whyte tbth

Damn right, Usyk will stfu and do what he's told.

LOL “as long as joshua gets through pulev” Bob shítting on his own fighter

Arum is the king of contradictions for a promoter one day he says no one cares about AJ claiming Pulev will knock him out and he’s not elite the next day he could say this . He claimed certain mandatory fights can’t be avoided like Pulev but then thinks Usyk can just be pushed aside when Usyk is far better known .

I hope Arum is right but the guy is going batty .

Could this also be related to the ESPN deal?

Surely, they didn't promise Fury a huge deal for fighting Wallin and Schwartz. They would like another big fight, in addition to the Wilder fights, for maximum profit. We don't know the exact details of that contract...do they have a say in who Fury fights? How exactly does Fury's payday work..do they buy the rights with that money and any share of Fury from the PPV will be after deduction of that amount?

[Idunnoshet]

Me thinks this is how the story is going to play out. Olek is going to surprise Bob Arum and slip away with the gold. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.



I'm with you bro. Nobody in America cares about Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury. Anthony Joshua is viewed as a loser over here after Andy Ruiz embarrassed him, and ever since the 'Bronze-Bomber' was robbed the interest in the HW division has died.

Just look at the depleting numbers in the Fury and Joshua threads.

I gotta agreed with you on this.
It might be hard for the Euro's to understand but Fury / Joshua has lost Alot of luster in the U.S ( IMO ).
Although I liked how he fought Wilder. Fury has put me to sleep while watching his fights a bunch of times.
Sucks to say but I think Wilders power was a big part of the appeal in watching the Big 3 square off.
Would I pay or go out of my way to see Fury put on a boxing clinic on Joshua ? Or even watch Joshua chase Fury all around the ring... No thanks.

And please don't accuse me of being biased towards Wilder.
His B.S after his loss to Fury made me lose Alot of respect for Deontay.

Arum doesn`t rule the boxing world. There is zero guarantee full unification will be allowed without Fury fighting Wilder and Whyte, and Joshua fighting usyk after Pulev.

There are many combinations. maybe Fury vacates to fight Joshua. In that case Whyte ( or Povetkin? ) could fight Usyk for free WBC belt.

Joshua can drop WBO, in that case probably Parker and Usyk fight for vacant WBO belt..
