And Hall of Famer Arum revealed a deal could be confirmed by next week with only a date and location to be finalised.
The promoter is in London to watch Artur Beterbiev, 38, defend his unified light-heavyweight belts against Anthony Yarde, 31.
And he took a seat ringside with Fury ahead of the WBC, IBF and WBO title fight, also reuniting with Derek Chisora, 38, who he beat in December.
The Gypsy King is sure to have asked how negotiations are progressing for his historic unification.
Saudi Arabia has emerged as a frontrunner to host the historic title fight with the boxers negotiating separate deals.
Arum confirmed an agreement to fight is in place with the date and venue to be imminently announced.
Arum told Sky Sports: “I think both of the fighters have agreed to the fight, I think the question is where the site will be.
“That will be sorted out hopefully next week and we’ll have an announcement shortly.
“If the fight goes to the Middle East it will be sometime after Ramadan and if the fight is in the UK it will be the beginning of April.”
Arum has refused to rule out Fury, 34, fighting Usyk, 35, on home soil at Wembley Stadium.
But he admitted the prizefighters could be convinced over to the desert, where the most money can be made.
Arum said: “It depends what the deals are and so forth.
“There are a number of us that would prefer the fight to be in Wembley, but again it depends on the money.
“The fighters have a very short limit of their careers and they have to make whatever money, particularly large amounts of money, because in a few years it’s not going to be available.
“I just think it’s going to be a tremendous fight.”

Boxing has become a very popular sport. It involves two people who attempt to knock each other out of their heads. Different countries have different rules. There are three main types of boxing: Amateur boxing, Professional boxing, and Olympic boxing.

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches are more powerful than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Spares
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better boxer, you must train hard and for a long time.
