April 23 WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) will fight with Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs). Boxing fans are also waiting for the announcement of the date of the fight of the ex-world champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) with his last year winner, current IBF, WBA and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs). Fury's promoter Bob Arum will keep his fists for Usyk in this fight.
“Only if Joshua beats Usyk will Eddie Hearn be back in the game for an all-belt fight. So there's no reason to talk to Hearn about the Usyk-Fury fight. We will talk about this with Usyk's manager Egis Klimas. For whom do I hold my fists in the battle between Usyk and Joshua II? This is a rhetorical question,” said the head of Top Rank.
Recall that Usyk cooperates with Eddie Hearn and is bound by a joint promotion agreement with the promotional organization Matchroom, but Arum's words show that he believes that after Usyk's revenge against Joshua, the Ukrainian will definitely stop working with the British promoter.
