Bob Arum, Tyson Fury’s US promoter, has hit back at Eddie Hearn’s suggestion that he might be banned from seeing his fighter, Dillian Whyte, take on the heavyweight champion.
The American, along with UK co-promoter Frank Warren, won a long battle of purse bids to promote the fight for a record fee of £24m. Fury and Whyte will face off at Wembley Stadium in front of around 90,000 fans on April 23.
Speaking to Boxing Social last week, Hearn had mooted that he might not be allowed into the fight despite it involving his fighter. He said: "I don’t think I’m allowed, but I was thinking about going in the corner and carrying the bucket.
