Bob Arum explains stipulations around a Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk clash happening in the UK
One of the final hurdles in negotiations is location and Fury’s promoter,, has revealed that they are expecting an offer from Saudi Arabia this week, but if it is not good enough, the fight could be coming to the UK.
“Everybody agreed that if [Saudi Arabia’s] offer comes through and it’s real, that’s how we’ll go. If not, we’ll do the fight at Wembley,”“The fighters have agreed to fight. I spoke to Frank Warren. We’re giving them until [this] week to come with their offer, which I believe we’ll get. If we don’t, then we’re gonna do the fight at Wembley.”
With that being said, if the fight does take place in the UK then Arum believes the initial agreement in terms of how the money is split between the two fighters will need to be revisited.
“But, we don’t get to that point if the [investors in Saudi Arabia] come through, because the way they operate is they make deals with each of the fighters. “I’ll believe it when I see it, but it’s not like they haven’t come through in the past.”18+ New customers only.
