The outspoken promoter spoke to FightHype.com about the fight and said, “I think it’s an interesting fight. I think there’s one winner, and that’s Tyson Fury. And I think he’s going to knock Wilder on his a** quicker, this time, than he did last time.”

Arum’s statement showed his confidence in his fighter. In the rematch, Fury knocked down Wilder for the first time in the third round. Eventually, ‘The Gypsy King’ won via a seventh-round TKO.
Bob Arum talks about the potential Anthony Joshua fight
Based on his comments, ‘Bobfather’ believes Tyson Fury will make it look even easier this time around. However, the promoter did not leave it at that. He addressed Fury’s potential next move and spoke about plans for Anthony Joshua.
The 89-year-old said, “I would certainly think so. I mean, that fight was going to happen if we hadn’t had the arbitrator’s ruling. And obviously, both guys, both Joshua and Fury wanted that fight.” He then added, “We’ll have to see. But obviously, if Fury wins and Joshua wins, it’s logical that they fight each other.”
Therefore, this comment from Arum showed that they would target the undisputed title after July 24. However, as Arum mentioned, both fighters need to get past difficult opposition to make it happen.
