Well, half the people on this forum say Tyson Fury is at fault, and didn't ever want to fight AJ.
So I don't know what they're going to make of Big John's 'analysis'.

This is what Warren and Arum were saying in November/December 2020 :

Fury got tired of waiting, declared he was not interested in meeting Wilder for a third time and claimed the immediate rematch clause has expired. But Wilder disagrees, and Warren said Fury's next opponent depends on the outcome of the legal decision in the United States.

"Hopefully Tyson will fight again in the first quarter of 2021, and we don't know yet if it will be against Wilder because of the arbitrary situation, we're still waiting on the outcome of that," Warren told ESPN. "Tyson has a contract with ESPN, [promoter] Top Rank and us [Queensberry Promotions] and we will have to sort it out between ourselves what he does next, where and when he fights next.

"An arbitration judge will decide it. We say it [the rematch clause] is at an end, Wilder says it can be extended. If the judge rules that Wilder is right, then that's what he [Fury] has to do. They will give us a decision soon, but we don't know when."

Wilder, who lost the WBC title to Fury after 10 defenses, believes Fury owes him a third fight after they first met almost two years ago in a disputed draw.

"The only thing I want from you is for you to honor your agreement and fight me," Wilder said to Fury via social media.

Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas was previously lined up to host Fury-Wilder III, but Fury had hoped to box on home soil next month.

There were plans for Fury to fight an alternative opponent to Wilder at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, on Dec. 5, but that idea was abandoned earlier this week due to coronavirus restrictions preventing spectators attending and also because of Wilder's legal action.

"The arbitration wasn't the main reason Tyson is not fighting on Dec. 5 -- it was called off because we had a problem with the start times at the Royal Albert Hall, and the money didn't stack up," Warren told ESPN.

"It would've had to start in the early hours of the morning in the UK, and that wouldn't have worked. At the moment, I don't know where Tyson will fight next. It's highly probable it will be in the States."

Warren says the plan remains for Fury to face rival world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in 2021.

"At some point next year, we want the Joshua fight -- that's the first one we want to have. We don't want Wilder, we want Joshua," Warren told ESPN. "We don't know when all this [pandemic, restrictions] is going to end. It's a huge amount of money we would lose from the gate if fans aren't allowed at it in the UK, it might have to go abroad.

"First though, it would be great to get them signed up for the fight."

Arum :

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/...-wilder-legal-anthony-joshua-vs-kubrat-pulev/

“If Pulev beats Anthony Joshua, there’s no Joshua fight for Tyson Fury because Joshua has a rematch clause.

“At that point, Fury is out there looking for opponents and I’d think the best available opponent would be Wilder.

“But it’s up to Fury to decide. Wilder has said some weird, Trumpian things that make no sense – he sounded like Donald Trump. Fury took offence and rightly so.

“If Joshua is not available, Fury will have to decide whether to overlook his remarks and go with a Wilder fight – that’s up to Tyson Fury.”

When asked about the specifics of the case, Arum added: “It’s one thing to bring a claim and it’s a second thing to be successful.

“I believe that Wilder has no rights any longer for a third fight and therefore his claim will be denied. But I can’t stop them from thinking otherwise and taking it to litigation.

“The contract says Wilder’s rights ran out at the end of October and I really believe that contract displays clearly that Wilder does not have a claim for a third fight.

“Wilder had some surgery but that was taken care of in the contract, a 90-day delay from the date of the proposed rematch in July – and that has ran out.

“But I think we’ll have a resolution on December 12.

“If Joshua is beaten and is then unavailable, I’ll have a talk with Tyson as to whether he wants to pursue a fight with Wilder.”

So Fury could have had a fight in December? Why wasn't arbitration the issue then?

I don't believe it wasn't the issue.
I suspect the possibility of being sued to death was a main reason they bailed on it, despite what Warren made out.

I Can't see them fighting in December either. Even if they both win there is always 1 more they need to get out of the way.

It will be nice to see fury honouring a rematch because he didn't with klitschko.

I enjoy the soap opera side of things. I'm just looking forward to the 2 fights that should happen in July and August and then the talk can start again.

Despite Hearn saying the Fury fight was ON in May, June, July and then August, it now looks like Joshua is not ready to fight until September.
