Fury’s promoter has hinted that viewers may never see a rematch between his protégé and the Ukrainian.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usik will only meet once in the ring, despite a rematch stipulated in the contract. This is what the famous promoter Bob Arum, representing British interests, said.
According to him, this could happen if the WBC title holder wins the first fight. After that, the organizers can pressure Oleksandr Usik to arrange the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
“If Tyson Fury beats Usyk, fights Alexander again and loses again, and then has a big fight, hopefully in the UK at Wembley Stadium against Joshua, it will really put an exclamation point on the end of his amazing career .
There’s always a chance when there’s one organization that puts money in, like in this case the sovereign wealth fund, the entertainment arm of Saudi Arabia, they can have a huge impact on the fighters, and maybe if Fury is successful, they can make Usyk stepped aside to allow Joshua’s fight to take place this year.
The Saudis, with all this money that can dictate the venue, are very smart and I don’t think they will love the match at Wembley with 95,000 spectators under their promotion.
I think it will do more for the image than Fury and Joshua in Saudi Arabia. But it’s up to them. This is how I feel when I talk to them briefly about the future. Let’s not lead our father to hell. May 18 is an extremely competitive super heavyweight championship bout.
Hopefully the Tyson that comes out on May 18th is not the same Tyson that fought Ngannou, and I really believe from the reports I’m getting that he’s pulled himself together and is training very hard for this. I can’t wait to see this battle,” Arum was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
We remind you that Fury’s previous promoter called Usik one of the best heavyweights in the world.
