Tyson Fury will be ‘in a lot of trouble’ if he doesn’t respect Dillian Whyte, says Bob Arum

It appears as though we’re finally going to get the all-British heavyweight title fight we’ve been craving, but it won’t be Anthony Joshua challenging Tyson Fury.

Dillian Whyte is the man who is set to get his shot, some four years after being installed as WBC’s number one contender.

There has been speculation that Fury really wants the undisputed title fight against Oleksandr Usyk and there was potential to ask Joshua to step aside from his rematch with the Ukranian.

Prior to that, everyone, Fury included, wanted to see the showdown with AJ. In light of that, could Fury potentially take The Body Snatcher lightly?

Fury’s American promoter, Bob Arum, thinks it would be a grave mistake if Fury didn’t respect Whyte and he knows the Gypsy King will.

"Why wouldn't Fury respect Whyte? Heavyweights throw bombs,” Arum explained. “If he doesn't respect him, he'll be in a lot of trouble.
