Bob Arum, in an interview to talkSPORT, confirmed reports of the Daily Mail that Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) in December, instead of meeting Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) in Las Vegas will have a voluntary defense of his WBC heavyweight belt in the UK.

In his next performance in April or May 2021, The King of the Gypsies will cross gloves in a unification battle with Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs).

The head of Top Rank, a promoter representing Fury's interests, when asked about the rematch clause in the February duel contract with Wilder, replied that only the defeat of the Briton in December could prevent Fury's fight with Joshua.
