TYSON FURY will fight in Britain the next time as Bob Arum, his US promoter, stressed the importance and necessity of a UK return.
Fury has boxed Stateside five consecutive times, four consecutively in Las Vegas since signing with Arum and his Top Rank stable.

Recently, the Gypsy King teamed up with Deontay wilder (36), for an 11-round thriller that ended in a brutal knockout. This was to conclude their three-year-old trilogy.
Fury will now fight Dillian Whyte (33), in a mandatory defense. Arum would like to see the WBC champion receive a hero’s welcome after all the long road.
Sky Sports interviewed him: "It's very, very important for Tyson to go back to the UK after he has done his five last fights in America.
He is a Brit and has many fans in the UK. If he fights in the UK and then returns to the US, he will be bringing 10,000 Brits along.
"American fans must learn to sing like the Brits!"
Frank Warren, Fury's UK promoter, is expected to meet with Arum in Sin City to discuss Fury's possible return. This could happen in five months.
He stated that Frank Warren was going to Manchester to meet Fury in order to set up a date. It could be March, April or even April, but not later than April.
WBC ordered Saturday's winner between Otto Wallin and Whyte to fight Fury.
After sustaining a shoulder injury, Whyte had to pull out, leaving Wallin (30) in the cold.
British contender, who waited over three years to get his chance at the title, has now confirmed that he will fight Fury upon his return.
Joe Joyce, 35-year-old, promoted by Warren, and is currently the WBO mandatory challenger for the Gypsy King, is an alternative.
Arum stated that Fury will decide who Fury fights next. If the fight takes place in the UK, I believe Whyte and Joyce would be good options.
