Tyson Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum has confirmed that talks to host a heavyweight unification fight between the Gypsy King and Anthony Joshua have taken place, while he has urged all parties to behave like ‘adults’ to find a solution.
Fury was due to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time this summer, while AJ was contracted to fight Kubrat Pulev, but the coronavirus crisis has seen both fights postponed with suggestions that a unification fight later in the year will now take precedence.
In order for that to happen, both Wilder and Pulev will need to accept step-aside offers but the American appears reluctant to do so and Arum has urged Wilder and co-manager Al Haymon to ‘cooperate’ for the good of the sport. (Text and photo courtesyMetro)
