The former undisputed heavyweight champion issued the warning on his Instagram this morning Tyson Fury says he is prepared to face Dillian Whyte and will ‘knock him out in six rounds’ but only on one condition after accepting the bout on social media this morning. The former unified heavyweight champion will only agree to the deal if the pair fight for the diamond belt instead of the interim title. Whyte declared exclusively to talkSPORT that he is ready to fight Fury for the right to become Deontay Wilder’s next mandatory challenger. Getty 1 Fury said he is open to facing Whyte… but only on one condition WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman revealed his organisation have mapped out a plan to order Whyte vs Fury as a final eliminator.

The Gypsy King decided to take ESPN’s millions instead of pursuing a rematch with Wilder after their stunning draw in December. He is less than pleased about being told to fight Whyte in order to have another crack at Wilder. “I don’t really think too much of it because I’m the ‘lineal’ heavyweight champion of the world,” Fury told Behind The Gloves. “I fight who I want, when I want, how I want.”<doc-sep>Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte: WBC request made for non-title ugrade May 15th, 2019 📸 Esther Lin / Amanda Westcott Tyson Fury has offered to fight Dillian Whyte for the WBC ‘Diamond’ title after being put forward for the interim version. In a shock move, Fury told the World Boxing Council he’d be willing to accept the fight if they agreed to the terms. It seems a strange one as Fury previously said he wouldn’t fight Whyte as he, ‘doesn’t need to fight in an eliminator’ of any kind. Fury stated he was already getting a full shot at the title. This is due to an agreed rematch with Deontay Wilder over the next twelve months. Taking to Instagram to reveal his demands, Fury said: “I just want to say a special message to the WBC, who supported me in my comeback and been very fair with me over the years. “I recently saw your quote about fighting for the interim title against Dillian Whyte. I’m very thankful for the opportunity. “But what I suggest is, because I beat Deontay Wilder and we all know what happened. I didn’t get the decision, but I still won and the world knows. “I propose we make me and Dillian Whyte for the WBC ‘Diamond’ belt and not the interim belt. Make it for the diamond belt, not the interim version and you’ve got a deal. “I’ll take care of Dillian Whyte and I’ll knock him out within six rounds,” he added. Upgrading the ‘interim’ for the ‘Diamond’ doesn’t make much difference in the grand scheme of things. Both are not seen as world title belts in any shape or form. Furthermore, the fewer belts in the heavyweight division the better it will be for everyone. For his part, Whyte did state he’d be interested should an offer from the WBC come to fruition. “Let’s do it then Tyson Fury. I’d fight you anytime, anywhere. Seven days a week and five times on Sunday. I look forward to putting you to sleep,” said ‘The Bodysnatcher’. UK PPV There’s no doubting Fury v Whyte is a massive top division fight for the UK. With Fury campaigning predominantly in the United States for the foreseeable future, the bout would be a tough Stateside sell. UK Pay-Per-View is rather thin on the ground as things stand. Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn would almost certainly want any fight to take place on British soil. Not to mention the fact that Fury recently aired his displeasure at Hearn and threatened to slap him in the chops, it doesn’t bode well for a Whyte fight happening anytime soon.<doc-sep>
Tyson Fury names condition for fighting Dillian Whyte Tyson Fury has sent a message to the World Boxing Council after they ordered a title eliminator between him and Dillian Whyte. After initially dismissing the order by claiming that he does not follow others' demands, Fury has now seemingly come around to the idea of sharing the ring with Whyte, on one condition. Ahead of his first fight as part of his lucrative ESPN broadcast deal, 'The Gypsy King' named the one condition for accepting the Whyte fight. "I recently saw your quote about fighting for the interim title against Dillian Whyte and I’m very thankful for the opportunity," Fury said on Instagram. "But what I suggest is, because I beat Deontay Wilder and we all know what happened, I didn’t get the decision, but I still won and the world knows. "I propose that we make me and Dillian Whyte for the WBC 'diamond' belt and not the interim belt. "I’ll take care of Dillian Whyte and I’ll knock him out within six rounds. "I accept the challenge, thank you very much. I’ll fight Dillian Whyte every day of the week and twice on a Sunday, WBC. "Make it for the diamond belt and not the interim version and you’ve got a deal. Let's get it on!" With Fury preparing for his clash with Tom Schwarz and Whyte getting ready to meet Oscar Rivas, the potential bout likely wouldn't take place until late 2019.
