Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte have been left out of the WBA's heavyweight rankings with their WBC title clash drawing closer to completion.
The British pair are now likely to face each other after Fury's co-promoter Frank Warren won purse bids to stage the bout with a bumper £31 million offer.
Issues have been prominent throughout negotiations including Whyte's unhappiness at receiving just 20 per cent of the split, but the fight is expected to take place in April.
