Bob Arum Gives Anthony Joshua an Ultimatum, Discusses Tyson Fury’s Next Fight

The modern era heavyweight division is one of the most lucrative rosters comprising some scary, yet astounding fighters. The division boasts the likes of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and more. Furthermore, fans wish to see all of these fighters go up against each other.

A couple of months back, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk collided with each other for the Briton’s title defense. Here, ‘AJ’ ended up losing the fight, alongside his hard-earned titles. With that, he also poured cold water on his long-time discussed matchup with Tyson Fury for the undisputed title.

Recently, Bob Arum, who addressed the heavyweight mess, shared some words for Joshua. Alongside that, he also revealed what’ll be next for Fury.

Speaking to the media, Arum said, ”Here’s the story, the ball now is in Joshua’s court. Joshua can step aside and let Usyk fight Fury. What Joshua can say no, I’ve gotta fight Usyk, and I’ve got a contract.”

“So once Joshua decides, if he decides, he’s going to fight Usyk, then Fury looks around for an opponent. I talked to him today, and if Whyte is reasonable, as far as his money, happy to fight him.”

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury – Is there a slight possibility of this fight happening?

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury can still happen, provided both the Brits end up winning their next contests.

Fury is speculated to fight ‘The Body Snatcher, and he’s a favorite to win the same. However, Joshua will have the underdog status to his name in the Usyk rematch.

That said, ‘AJ’ has a far bigger challenge than Fury, and it’ll be interesting to see if he overcomes the same to fight for the undisputed title.
