Arum: 'White wants money to promote the fight'

Bob Arum reported that Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) expects extra pay for fight against WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs). The promoter of the American, however, does not intend to allocate a budget for these purposes.

“White said he wanted money to promote the fight, but he wouldn’t get it. If he does not participate in these promotions, he is simply stupid, ”the head of Top Rank commented on the situation.

Frank Warren, who won the tender for the fight, had to inform the WBC about the place and date of this fight by Friday. Probably, the promoter fulfilled this condition, but the information has not yet been announced. According to media reports, the fight should take place on April 23 at Wembley Stadium.
