Tyson Fury has been told that he did the right thing in choosing to fight Dillian Whyte over Oleksandr Usyk by the Ukrainian's trainer, who has had words for the Gyspy King ahead of a potential future showdown. There had been talks between Fury and Usyk's camp over a potential fight between the two, with Anthony Joshua reportedly been offered millions to step aside from his rematch with Usyk in order to do so.
But a deal could not be agreed, and therefore fights will commence between Usyk and Joshua - in a rematch of their first bout which saw the former dominate Joshua - while Fury will finally face Whyte. Fury vs Whyte will take place on Saturday, April 23 at Wembley Stadium in what will be one of British boxing's biggest heavyweight bouts of all-time.
The WBC had mandated Fury to defend his title against his fellow Brit but there was a significant delay with developments, with purse bids delayed on four occasions and Whyte waiting until the final hours before a deadline to submit his contract with the governing body this week.
