Top Rank CEO Bob Arum says an immediate rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is likely to take place in November or December; Arum also welcomed a clash between Fury and Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum believes Tyson Fury did enough to beat Oleksandr Usyk in the pair’s historic undisputed world title clash and is eyeing an immediate rematch before the end of the year.
Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era in Saudi Arabia earlier this month when he beat Fury via split decision after coming close to stopping the Gypsy King in a thrilling ninth round.

“Yeah, the way I looked at it and I was sitting with Frank (Warren) and after the 10th round, I told him that Tyson has to win one of the next two rounds to win the fight,” Arum told Sky Sports. “He didn’t win the 11th but he clearly won the 12th round.
“I had the first round for Usyk, then the next six rounds for Tyson. The rest for Usyk except for the last round, which I gave to Fury. I had seven rounds to five, I had Tyson winning by one point, as did one of the judges.”

Fury and Usyk are expected to meet again on the basis of a rematch clause, though it remains to be seen whether it will be for the undisputed title amid the prospect of the IBF belt being made vacant.
