Bob Arum has ruled out the possibility of six judges being at ringside for next month’s Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk clash live on DAZN PPV.
The American promoter of Fury has been around boxing for a long time, and he’s witnessed many major changes regarding the officiating of the sport.
The May 18 battle that will see all four heavyweight titles up for grabs and it's set to be one of the biggest fights in history.
Several high-profile figures within the sport have mentioned the idea of more judges, but Arum believes that the undisputed fight is too big of an event to trial something for the first time.
"You don't put in something like that for the first time dealing with a major fight from the standpoint of visibility and importance. Maybe six judges are better than three - I doubt that, but maybe,” said Arum when speaking to Boxing Scene.
"Nobody knows because it hasn't been done. But at least you experiment with that with fights that are not as prominent.”
