Bob Arum in an interview with Ringside Reporter stated that Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 20 KOs) is currently the main candidate for the role of the next opponent Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). The fight between the WBC heavyweight champion and recent sensational winner Joe Joyce will take place in July.
Arum also said that he had "very interesting" talks with the Saudis about organizing a fight between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). The confrontation between the British and the Ukrainian will be the main event of the December tournament, which will also feature Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
