“Tyson will just have to fight for the ring magazine title. He’ll save the sanction fee money. Hopefully, he’ll be successful. And then Usyk and Joshua will have fought and the winner will be out there, and he’ll go on to fight them, with or without the WBC title. So you know the loser is going to be, without any question, Dillian Whyte,” he said.

Whyte, the WBC interim heavyweight champ, was in the forefront to face Fury. However, as his team wasn’t quite able to iron out a deal with ‘The Gypsy King’s team, Arum seems to have moved on.
