Watch Tyson Fury's message below:
Tyson Fury is certainly staying ready for his next opponent. Fury's last three fights have come against Deontay Wilder. His most recent fight against Wilder came in October 2021 and proved to be one of the best heavyweight clashes of all time.
Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in the 11th round of the fight. Since then, 'The Gypsy King' is eager to take on fresh opponents and further extend his legacy.
WBC order Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte purse split
Tyson Fury has been on the lookout for an opponent ever since he beat Deontay Wilder back in October 2021. However, 'The Gypsy King' has faced trouble finding an opponent.
Fury was supposed to take on his WBC mandatory, Dillian Whyte. However, Whyte's legal battle with the WBC restricted the organization from ordering this mega heavyweight clash at first.
Once the problem was solved and the WBC finally ordered Fury vs. Whyte, the latter drew a hard bargain. As per Bob Arum, Dillian Whyte is making obscene demands and it has become really difficult to make the fight happen.
It remains to be seen what happens in the Fury-Whyte negotiation saga. The WBC has ordered a purse bid split for Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte, with 'The Gyspsy King' taking the majority stake.
If Dillian Whyte fails to agree to a deal with Tyson Fury, the fight will go to purse bids and promoters can submit their bids. Moreover, 'The Gypsy King' has been given the green light by the WBC to fight a different opponent if Whyte doesn't agree to the terms.
