Tyson Fury has announced he will fight Dillian Whyte next - indicating Anthony Joshua has rejected the chance to step aside.
Fury was mandated to face Whyte following his win over Deontay Wilder last October.
But purse bids have been delayed on four occasions to allow discussions over Joshua giving up his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk to allow the Ukrainian to face Fury for all four belts.
