Tyson Fury’s co-promoters have no problem with the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion fighting Dillian Whyte next in England. Bob Arum informed BoxingScene.com that Fury’s next fight should take place in Fury’s native country, whether it’s against Whyte or Joe Joyce.

Dillian Whyte understands Otto Wallin’s frustration. Whyte, too, has had fights canceled or postponed while he was training.
