With his undefeated record intact and the WBC title onboard, Tyson Fury is now done with his American counterpart. However, he is not done appearing in the United States of America. ‘The Gypsy King’ can return to US soil for more PPVs in the future. Bob Arum has already given a green signal to the idea.

PBC boxing’s vice-president Tim Smith had belittled Tyson Fury’s ability to garner attention from the American audience unless he faces a superstar like Wilder. But Bob Arum disapproved of the claims. And showed complete faith in his unbeaten client.

Arum exclusively replied to Smith’s criticisms and said, “What he’s saying is not correct. He can fight in the United States and make a lot of money. But it has to be [against] a fighter that’s known to the American public, not just to some insular boxing people.”

Tyson Fury can pick at will from this point

Oleksandr Usyk shall clearly be a worthy opponent for Tyson Fury. Both the heavyweight champions are currently undefeated and have looked flawless in their latest outings. However, Anthony Joshua will have to step aside from his rematch clause with Usyk, and only then can Fury have a go at the Ukrainian star. While AJ doesn’t intend to do so, Fury can look into his other options.
