Michael Benson from talkSPORT took to his Twitter to give the news to fans. Arum has confirmed the big news about the ongoing negotiations with the Saudi Arabian representatives. According to Benson, the promoter has confirmed to be in talks with the representatives to schedule Fury Vs. Usyk on the same night as Deontay Wilder Vs. Anthony Joshua.

It seems unclear when or how these fights will take place. But, the fans should not lose hope to see these top heavyweights go the distance. Not long ago, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn laughed at the payout claims from these fights. The rumored fight of Joshua against Wilder will be his second fight since his return to the ring after almost a year. He last prevailed in his bout against Jermaine Franklin.
