Speaking to the media, Arum said, ”Here’s the story, the ball now is in Joshua’s court. Joshua can step aside and let Usyk fight Fury. What Joshua can say no, I’ve gotta fight Usyk, and I’ve got a contract.”
“So once Joshua decides, if he decides, he’s going to fight Usyk, then Fury looks around for an opponent. I talked to him today, and if Whyte is reasonable, as far as his money, happy to fight him.”
