The "King of the Gypsies" continues to swear that he has retired, but his representatives contacted Derek Chisora's team, probing the topic of a possible meeting in December. Meanwhile, Arum would immediately like to offer Fury a full unification of the titles in the royal weight class.

Tyson sits on the WBC throne, and the three remaining IBF, WBA and WBO belts belong to Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs). In twelve days, the Ukrainian will have a rematch with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) in Saudi Arabia. If he wins again, he can cross gloves with Fury in the next fight.

“I hope Usyk wins this rematch because I have already spoken to his team and as far as I can see they would like to fight Fury. I think everything will turn out as planned, because Usyk is more talented than Joshua and faster than him. I would like to see Usyk and Fury fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. I hope we can do this in December or early next year,” Arum said.
