Tyson Fury will not be pressured into deciding whether or not to vacate his heavyweight world title after defeating Dillian Whyte.
The 'Gypsy King' reiterated his plans to retire from boxing after a sixth-round stoppage victory over Whyte at Wembley last month. It was expected Fury would be given a deadline to decide if he wished to vacate his WBC title, with talks planned in the coming weeks.
But WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman will give his champion time to decide - and anticipates Fury's former foe Deontay Wilder will be given a shot at the belt if the champion relinquishes his title. "We're going to give him the time he needs to reflect, to relax, he just did the mandatory of the division," Sulaiman told Planet Sport. "There's no hurry to pressure him or his team into making any decisions. We will be in communications, he's having a holiday with his family.
