“To talk about paying Wilder or paying Pulev step-aside money is at this point ludicrous.” Wilder Pulev AnthonyJoshua Fury
ESPN.com reported late last month that MTK Global, the company that advises Fury, and Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, have had discussions about finding investors in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere in the Middle East who could help make a heavyweight title unification bout between Fury and Joshua next.
“To talk about paying Wilder or paying Pulev step-aside money is at this point ludicrous,” Arum told co-hosts Gerry Cooney and Randy Gordon. “I mean, we are not the United States mint, that can print money and distribute it – you know, $2 trillion, or, you know money hard to imagine. We can’t do that. Who’s gonna pay the step-aside money? I mean, where’s it coming from?
Bulgaria’s Pulev is the mandatory challenger for Joshua’s IBF title. England’s Joshua , who also owns the WBA, WBO and IBO titles, and Pulev were scheduled to fight June 20 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, but it was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Look, Deontay Wilder gave Fury two opportunities to fight for the title, and we don’t forget that,” Arum explained. “One, he selected Fury for the fight that was in Los Angeles [in December 2018]. And then after it was a draw – I thought Fury won, but they called it a draw – he signed on to give Fury a [second] shot, which was the fight in February in Las Vegas. We also have a contract with the Wilder people, which guarantees him a third fight. So, what we’re thinking is to do that fight.
