Tyson Fury warns Dillian Whyte of ‘annihilation’ ahead of a rumoured fight
It is looking like there's a good chance that the much-anticipated fight between champion Tyson Fury and his mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte is getting the go-ahead.
The final deadline for the pair to agree on whether the fight will take place is set for Friday, January 28. But things are looking likely to go ahead after Fury called out Whyte on social media.
There is still a bit of confusion about the fight with a rumour circulating that Fury could actually schedule a brawl with WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk has been pitched to scrap with Brit Anthony Joshua for some time after the Ukrainian robbed him of his belts in a thrilling fight last year.
It has been reported that Joshua is likely to activate a rematch clause in his contract that will see him fight Usyk again.
However, following news that two reigning champions might instead prefer a bout with one another, rumours circulated wildly that Whyte and Joshua may be paid huge sums of money to step aside and let the belt holders have it out in an undisputed title brawl.
But now, following Fury's call-out of Whyte, it is looking likely the original battle between the two Brits is back on.
