Tyson Fury has been ordered by the WBC to fight Dillian Whyte as a final eliminator in order to secure his much-anticipated rematch with Deontay Wilder.
The 30-year-old ex-heavyweight world champion climbed off the deck to earn a heroic draw when the giant duo fought on December 1 for the American’s WBC title.
Whyte exclusively told
talkSPORT that he is ready, willing and able to fight Fury.
“
I’m the ‘can man,’ whoever wants it can get it,” Whyte exclusively told Drive. “
I’ve been trying to fight Tyson Fury for a number of years now. We’ve made multiple attempts and it never happened.
“If Fury wants to fight, he knows where I am. But I can’t see the fight happening. If Tyson fury can walk away from a rematch with Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight world title, why would he fight me for the ‘interim’ title? It doesn’t make sense.”
