Dillian Whyte: Deadline looms as no contract has been signed yet for Tyson Fury fight
Dillian Whyte
Whyte is yet to sign a contract which would see him take on Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title.
Tyson Fury will make his return to the ring in April and he is hoping it will be mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte.
However, the fight is yet to be confirmed as Whyte has not signed the contract on offer.
He has just hours to agree to the offer and if he misses to deadline then the fight will collapse.
Fury vs Whyte went to purse bids and promoter Frank Warren won the rights to stage it. BT Sport Box Office will have the pay-per-view fight in the UK while ESPN+ have the broadcasting rights in America.
It was the biggest purse bid in boxing history at £32million. Whyte is set to pocket £6m with an additional £3m bonus if he can become the first fighter to defeat Fury.
Whyte has until midnight in Mexico to sign the paperwork otherwise he will miss out on the lucrative payday. In the UK, the deadline is 6am on Tuesday morning.
Fury wants Ngannou fight
Fury said he hasn't held official talks with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou but he expects to face him next year.
"I'm gonna fight Francis Ngannou in Las Vegas next year, next March or February," Fury told IFL TV.
"Not for this year," Fury said of carrying out preliminary discussions with Ngannou. "But next year we can get some fuc**** crazy fights.
"[It will be a] very big [fight]. I believe it breaks all pay-per-view records in the United States. Two heavyweights, champions going head to head."
Fury has also spoken of his interest in facing Oleksandr Usyk at the end of the year to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
