The functionary believes that there are four names in heavyweight that will collect a large box office
Promoter former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder Shelly Finkel believes that a potential duel Oleksandr Usyk With Tyson Fury would attract more attention than the second fight of the Ukrainian with Anthony Joshua.
“I don’t believe that the Usyk-Joshua fight is now as big as Fury-Usyk. At the same time, we now have four big names in the heavyweight – Tyson, Alexander, Anthony and Deontay Wilder. Two of these guys will fight in August and that will clear up the future.”
“Still, Joshua’s fight is huge even if he loses to Usyk. I don’t know all the numbers, but I heard that in Saudi Arabia they invested a lot of money so that Anthony fought with them, ”said the promoter.
Earlier it was reported that Deontay Wilder is ready to fight the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. At the same time, the promoter of the American believes that if Tyson Fury wants to fight the victor in the first place, he will get it.
The second fight between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The fight will be broadcast live on the DAZN streaming platform.
Last fall, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision to become world heavyweight champion for the first time.
