“He is a Brit, he has plenty of fans in the UK, and if he does a fight in the UK, then comes back to the US, he will bring 10,000 Brits with him. American fans have to learn to sing like the Brits,” Bob Arum told Sky Sports.
“Who Fury fights next will be determined by Fury. If the fight is in the UK, I would think Whyte would be a good possibility, as well as Joyce,” he added.
