Dillian Whyte is set to fight British boxer Tyson Fury as he was unable to agree an undisputed world title fight within 30 days.
Tyson Fury knocked out American boxer Deontay Wilder in their third fight after been floored twice in the early stage of the fight.
Speculation of an undisputed world title fight between the WBC champion and Oleksandr Usyk, who will go ahead with a planned rematch against Anthony Joshua.
Speaking with the media last month Dillian Whyte challenged Tyson Fury to settle their rivalry in the ring.
“Fury has been mandated to fight me twice. He asked for the WBC ‘Diamond’ belt to fight me, but ran away when they agreed. He just keeps making excuses,” said Whyte.
“Hopefully now he’s got no choice. What’s he going to do? Throw the belt in the bin and run away from more money than he got to fight [Deontay] Wilder?
“Obviously he says he’s a fighting man and a man of his word, but we all know he talks a lot of s***, so let’s see.
“He said he was going to fight me after he beat Wilder, then he ran away. Let’s see what he does.”
Fury climbed off the canvas twice to retain his WBC title with a knockout win over Deontay Wilder.
But Whyte had issued a warning to Fury while speaking with the media: “Of course I’ll finish him.
“Wilder is overrated. He can punch, but he can’t fight. He’s very athletic and rangy, and he’s got good speed, so when he closes the distance quick and he lands a punch, he’s heavy-handed.
“But he can’t box and he can’t fight. Everything he does is erratic and that’s why Fury was able to take him out.
“He knocked Fury down twice, heavy knockdowns, and Fury came back and won rounds. Wilder is just a freak of nature, he has no technical ability.
“If I put Fury down, I’ll be attacking him, head and body, head and body.”
