The Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder trilogy has got everyone talking. After all the signs pointed towards a Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, the third fight between Fury and Wilder surprised many. And now, Bob Arum has weighed in on the trilogy and given his prediction.
Fury and Wilder will be the main event of an all-heavyweight PPV card on July 24 in Las Vegas. While ‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ have already given their predictions, Fury’s co-promoter, Bob Arum, has made a bold claim.
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.”

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.”
