Although a contract has but to be signed, Tyson Fury co-promoter Bob Arum says {that a} location for the extremely anticipated heavyweight title struggle between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is being sought. “I think both of the fighters have agreed to the fight, I think the question is where the site will be,” Arum informed Sky Sports. “That will be sorted out hopefully next week and we’ll have an announcement shortly.” Europe can be an apparent location for the match, as Fury is from Britain and Usyk is from Ukraine. As at all times with the game of boxing, nonetheless, cash is the highest precedence.
Therefore, the Middle East could be the placement the place the bout finally goes down. Then once more, Britain stays an possibility. “If the fight goes to the Middle East it will be sometime after Ramadan,” stated Arum, “and if the fight is in the UK it will be the beginning of April.” It may be argued, then, that the placement might be determined by the best bidder. “It depends what the deals are and so forth,” Arum stated.
Because each Fury and co-trainer Frank Warren are English, there’s a real need to carry the struggle in Great Britain. What’s extra, main fights that go down in England are large points of interest which usher in untold numbers of energetic followers. A giant struggle in, say, London, for instance, is at all times good for the game. “There are a number of us that would prefer the fight to be in Wembley, but again it depends on the money,” Arum informed Sky Sports.
While some could argue that seemingly obscene sums of cash shouldn’t be the one requirement to make a hoped for struggle, Arum argued from the attitude of the combatants. “The fighters have a very short limit of their careers and they have to make whatever money, particularly large amounts of money, because in a few years it’s not going to be available,” he said. With that being stated, Arum indicated he was desirous to see a Fury-Usyk struggle go down. “I just think it’s going to be a tremendous fight,” he stated.
