BOB ARUM insists that Eddie Hearn was not banned from Tyson Fury's fight against Dillian Whyte.
On April 23, the 33-year-old heavyweights will settle their scores at Wembley.
Frank Warren, Tyson Fury, and Bob Arum
This was after Fury's promoter Frank Warren won a record-breaking PS30.6million WBC prize.
Hearn, who bid PS24m for the fight, has not been officially involved in the mega-fight, but has promoted Whyte throughout his career as heavyweight.
The Matchroom Boxing boss is unsure if he will be there due to his promotional feuding.
He offered his support to Whyte, even if that meant carrying his bucket.

Arum responded by offering to give Hearn a fight ticket - and to save him from working in Whyte's camp.
Arum told FightHype: "Eddie Hearn can't keep his mouth shut.
"I never talk about an Eddie Hearn fight. Why? It's not because I'm a bad guy. His fight is his fight.
"Eddie Hearn, everything is his business. He stated that he was banned from fighting.

He said that he would carry Whyte’s bucket so he could get to the fight. Is that crazy?
"You don't think he would call me up if he asked?"
After Hearn told Boxing Social that he didn't believe he was allowed, Boxing Social responded with these comments: "I don’t think I’m allowed, but I might go into the corner."
"I thought about going into the corner and carrying the bucket. I would do that.
"I would wear a Dillian Whyte shirt and keep the bucket in the corner. Think about the purchases.
"Might double buys, the announcement. 'Eddie Hearn will carry the bucket for DillianWhyte'."
