It seems that Tyson Fury's team (30-0-1, 21 KOs) has no consensus on the sporting future of the King of the Gypsies. In his next performance the Briton will have to fight Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), but the promoters of the two champions cannot agree on when this duel should take place. Bob Arum, due to the lack of an opportunity to organize a fight with the audience, is ready to wait until next year, and Frank Warren insists on closing the trilogy no later than December.

Eddie Hearn argues that if WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) does not have a rematch with Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) before the end of the year, the Briton will have to defend against Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KO). King of the Gypsies' promoter Bob Arum has his own opinion on this matter. The head of the Top Rank says bluntly - first the Fury-Wilder fight must take place, even if it has to be postponed for several months, and only then a fight against Whyte is possible.
