Bob Arum names his favourite fight after 60 years in boxing: “It was a street brawl”

Published

Top Rank’s Bob Arum has been involved in boxing since the 1960’s and has been a true servant to the sport, sure to go down as one of the most influential figures in its long history. More than anyone else, he perhaps has the claim to have seen it all.

Arum’s first fight as a promoter was a clash for the heavyweight world title, as Muhammad Ali successfully defended his WBC crown against George Chuvalo in Toronto, back in 1966.

The promoter would put on 27 of Ali’s 61 professional contests in total, but crafted his legacy just as much during the 1980’s, being one of the driving forces behind fights involving the ‘Four Kings’.

Speaking to DAZN Boxing after announcing a new partnership with the streaming service, Arum revealed that his favourite fight is the legendary clash between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns, where the middleweight duo produced an enthralling three-round slug-fest.

“My all-time favourite fight ever was Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns, because of the tour that we had them go on to publicise the fight.

“For some reason, because we had them on this tour, they rubbed each other up the wrong way and by the time the bell rang for the fight, they forgot everything they knew about boxing and they just wanted to make it into a street brawl.

“It was fantastic, it really was something. People who were there still recall it.”

The 1985 bout between Hagler and Hearns is often considered one of the greatest fights ever because of its sheer intensity and drama, with both men throwing everything from the opening bell in a relentless, high-risk battle.

In just three rounds, it delivered non-stop action, momentum swings, and elite skill under pressure – a perfect storm of violence and quality that has rarely been matched in boxing history.

Arum also highlighted Ali’s famous victory in the ‘Thrilla in Manila’ as a personal favourite, where ‘The Greatest’ cemented his dominance over Joe Frazier by knocking him out in their trilogy encounter.

Chris Jericho made his return to Dynamite recently. He has now sent a message to Chris Benoit’s son.

Chris Jericho spent the better part of the past year on the shelf. As a result, there was a lot of speculation about his future. Many reports suggested that the former World Champion could be leaving Tony Khan’s company for WWE. Jericho also teased returning to his previous employer by posting clips from his time in the sports entertainment juggernaut. However, this was not what happened. Last week on Dynamite, Jericho made his return to AEW in Winnipeg and addressed the fans. Now, he is set to face Ricochet in a singles match at Dynasty 2026.

Tony Khan revealed why Chris Jericho returned to AEW

Rumors were rampant for a very long time that Chris Jericho was done with AEW, and he could be returning to WWE. It was even reported that Jericho would return to the Stamford-based promotion when his contract was set to expire on December 31, 2025. However, he signed a new deal with Tony Khan’s company.

Speaking on the Coach & Bro Show, Tony Khan said that Jericho had a choice and he chose to remain in AEW. He also revealed that they had planned his return date a long time ago.

“I do know that Chris had a choice and he wanted to be in AEW. I’ve been in constant communication with Chris, and he definitely told me he wanted to be in AEW and very specifically in Winnipeg on that date. We’ve had that circled for a long time, going back to last year. It was a choice that Chris made that he’d rather be in AEW than wrestling anywhere else, and I think that’s awesome. He has always been consistent that he loves AEW.” [H/T @@TheDrainmaker on X]

It remains to be seen if Jericho will be victorious in his in-ring return.
