“Still Get the Tingles”- Bob Arum Says Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 Was Like a Movie

The last outing between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder was no less than a cinematic thriller. Filled with excitement, drama, and violence, both the heavyweight stars gave it everything. Wilder even troubled Tyson Fury and had his moments. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ emerged with the win in the eleventh round.

Almost three months on from the fight, Bob Arum has shared his views on it and said that it is something a movie producer would think of doing.

In a chat with IFL TV, Arum said, “Still get the tingles when I think of it. I mean, that fight was like a thing a movie, a producer on a boxing movie would think of doing. Guys going down, big guy is going down, getting up, putting the other guy down. I mean, it was as exciting of heavyweight fight as you could get. And particularly, you know, since our guy won, it made it even better. But that certainly was the highlight of the year.”
