Amer Abdallah, Head of Boxing at Skill Challenge Promotions, has voiced optimism about the prospective high-stakes doubleheader featuring Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder. Slated for a potential December date in the Middle East, the fight card could feature these two enticing heavyweight clashes, but fans may wonder if the bouts will truly come to pass.
With Skill Challenge Promotions intending to organize this mega-event, Abdallah has been faced with numerous rumors and misinformation circling the boxing industry. One such rumor involves an alleged $120 million offer to Usyk and Fury for their potential fight, a claim that Abdallah denies. He emphasizes that such rumors lack substance and deviate from the company’s objective of making the doubleheader a reality.
In his interactions with Express Sport, Abdallah cleared the air surrounding the financial aspect of the heavyweight clashes. He assures that Skill Challenge Promotions has the necessary resources to fund the proposed bouts, and if any obstacles occur, they won’t be due to financial concerns. Instead, Abdallah suggests that the only roadblocks could come from the boxers or their teams.
