From me and @MarkKriegel: Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder have agreed to terms for a third fight: https://t.co/lIYL5kN3XG

Fury was scheduled to fight Anthony Joshua August 14 in Saudi Arabia, but an arbitrator ruled Fury owes Wilder a third fight.
Now, it looks like the Joshua fight will have to be pushed back to a later date.
I have confirmed via multiple sources that the arbitrator, retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, has ruled in Deontay Wilder’s favor in case with Tyson Fury. In the opinion, he writes Fury must face Wilder a 3rd time before Sept. 15 unless parties make a deal otherwise. (more)

It doesn’t necessarily mean the Fury-Joshua fight is dead. It means Wilder and Fury/AJ could make a deal for him to take step-aside money (a lot of it!) and perhaps get a written promise the winner would face Wilder next. It is a very fluid situation.

This is kind of disappointing. I don’t think there’s any chance Fury loses this fight to Wilder. I’d be absolutely shocked if he did.
He destroyed him during their second bout after earning a draw in the first fight. We have no reason to believe it’ll be different July 24.

We want the Joshua fight, and I want Fury to just roll him in Saudi Arabia. I think it’s going to be a hell of a time.

I guess we’ll just have to wait a little bit longer.
