An arbitrator has reportedly ruled that Tyson Fury must fight Deontay Wilder again.

According to Dan Rafael, retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein has ruled that Tyson must face Wilder again by September 15 or reach some kind of other agreement. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Tyson is currently scheduled to fight Anthony Joshua August 14 in Saudi Arabia. He earned a draw in his first fight against Wilder and then destroyed him in the second bout.

The most likely outcome is that Wilder is paid money to not pursue this situation further and allow the Fury/Joshua fight to proceed as planned.

It might be a painful pill to swallow, but Wilder just has to be paid to go away at this point. Fury is 1-0-1 against him, and there’s no reason for a third fight.

Fury beat the living hell out of him the second time around. We have no reason to believe it’ll be any different a third time around.

Plus, the world wants to watch Fury/Joshua.

Give the people what we want! Pay Wilder off and prepare for August 14. It’s going to be a lit time in Saudi Arabia!
