Top Rank's CEO  Bob Arum believes the United States' boxing scene may be up and running before the UK scene is removed from lockdown.

Arum stresses that there won't be any fans at the cards.

One of the bigger issues for Arum, due to the coronavirus pandemic, are the numerous travel restrictions that prevent some of his boxers from traveling over to the United States.

Certain fighters, like Carl Frampton and Michael Conlan, will have to fight on home soil if the travel restrictions remain in place.

"I think we'll be up and running in the US, at least in Nevada and California, before the UK starts to come out of lockdown. We're making a lot of arrangements to get up and running without spectators," Arum told BBC Sport.

"But we have a travel ban in place in the US and we don't know how long that will last. The question is can we get guys like Frampton and Conlan over to the US, put them in quarantine, have them train in the gym for two or three weeks under sanitised conditions and then have them fight without spectators in June or July?

"Frank Warren is exploring the possibility of having these fights in the UK, whether in Belfast or London, again with similar precautions. It's just a case of wherever it works. Given they have been unable to train with their trainers it would be up to each boxer to tell us how long they need in a training camp before they can participate in a fight."

Because certain fighters have been inactive for a longer period than expected, Arum will leave it up them on how quickly they want to jump in there with top level opponents.

"It is up to the individual fighters whether they want a warm-up fight to get themselves ready for a title fight or not," Arum said.
