Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight unification bout could be closer. A few days ago the British boxer asked for 500 million pounds before September 1 to return to the ring, an extremely a priori figure that could become a reality.
Legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum seems determined to get it and He is already working on the search for a stage that is in the works of such an event.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been touted as possible venues following Usyk’s recent rematch win over Britain’s Anthony Joshua, while Las Vegas and Wembley are other attractive propositions.
In declarations to ‘BoxingScene.com’, Arum explained the talks underway and admitted that the main priority is to get a good stage.
“I think Saudi Arabia had a good experience with the last fight they did,” Arum said of the Usyk-Joshua rematch at the Jeddah Superdome.
“Qatar is hosting the World Cup, so he might be interested. And then I’m sure that Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, will be interested. So, yes, we will consider all of that. And there is a lot of interest from people in the US I think there are a bunch of casinos in Las Vegas that are trying to get together and bring the event to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. So everything is up in the air. We all decide what the best deal is. It was in consultation with Queensberry, Frank Warren and his son George, and the warriors. But we are in a good positionhe added.
