Brit superstar Tyson Fury has fought his last five bouts on American soil, three of which were against ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder with the WBC heavyweight belt at stake. The Fury-Wilder trilogy ended on October 2021 after Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder to set the rivalry at 2-0-1 in his favor.
With his undefeated record intact and the WBC title onboard, Tyson Fury is now done with his American counterpart. However, he is not done appearing in the United States of America. ‘The Gypsy King’ can return to US soil for more PPVs in the future. Bob Arum has already given a green signal to the idea.

PBC boxing’s vice-president Tim Smith had belittled Tyson Fury’s ability to garner attention from the American audience unless he faces a superstar like Wilder. But Bob Arum disapproved of the claims. And showed complete faith in his unbeaten client.
Arum exclusively replied to Smith’s criticisms and said, “What he’s saying is not correct. He can fight in the United States and make a lot of money. But it has to be [against] a fighter that’s known to the American public, not just to some insular boxing people.”
