Deontay Wilder is intent on fighting Tyson Fury for a third time and is not willing to accept money to step aside, according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.

It has been suggested that Wilder could accept an offer to not activate his rematch clause against Fury in order to pave the way for the Gypsy King to fight Anthony Joshua sooner. Joshua, meanwhile, was scheduled to fight Kubrat Pulev, the IBFโ€™s mandatory challenger on June 20, but that has now been postponed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

When asked about the prospect of Wilder accepting a step-aside offer, Arum told iFL TV: โ€˜Absolutely none. (Text and photo courtesy Metro)
