Eddie Hearn has blamed Tyson Fury for the collapse of a deal for him to face Oleksandr Usyk while branding him a "walking contradiction".
Talks were ongoing for Anthony Joshua to step-aside from a rematch with Usyk to allow the WBC champion Fury to have a shot at becoming undisputed champion.
However it now looks likely Fury will face Whyte next after the deal collapsed with purse bids expected to take place on Friday after several delays.
