Deontay Wilder’s Trainer and Tyson Fury at Crossroads Over $400 Million Fight Talks Rumors

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has fired back at Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott following his comments about a super event in Saudi Arabia. Negotiations for major heavyweight fights in Arabia are reportedly taking place this year. The rumors suggest that a tournament for boxing’s glamour division is being eyed by Middle Eastern organizers.

Moreover, it will also include the likes of Anthony Joshua potentially lining up a showdown with Wilder in December. The speculation also claims that Fury’s undisputed world title fight against Oleksandr Usyk is being eyed for the same event. Fury vs Usyk was a fight that many fans were hoping to see before negotiations fell through between the two camps. However, it seems that a potential super fight might be on the horizon.

In an interview with iFL TV, Wilder’s trainer claimed that the rumors surrounding the event were indeed true. According to him, negotiations for this event are currently ongoing and the mega fights could take place this December.

“I can say that those rumors are true, negotiations are going on and big fights are gonna be happening. Not just with us, with a lot of top fighters out there in the heavyweight division in Saudi Arabia,” he said.

The winners of these fights would then meet in the ultimate heavyweight showdown in 2024. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ has clapped back on Scott calling him out for making these bold claims without any evidence to back them up.

‘The Gypsy King’ took to Instagram and fired back at Scott. He shared a post on his Story with Scott’s claims but stated that they were not true and did not hold any weight. “I can confirm that these rumors are absolute BS!” he wrote.

While Fury has denied the rumors, the fact that negotiations are reportedly taking place is a positive sign for the sport. Moreover, if these fights do happen, they could be some of the biggest in the sport’s history and would provide a platform for the heavyweight division to be completely conquered by one man once again. Fights in boxing often get canceled at the last minute due to various complications involved. However, if the money and time are right, an event like this can certainly be made in the Gulf this December.
