Tyson Fury Says He WILL Face Dillian Whyte Next After Blasting Anthony Joshua And Eddie Hearn For Rejecting A Step Aside Fight Deal Worth £67MILLION

Tyson Fury has vowed to ‘annihilate’ Dillian Whyte after confirming that he will face his British challenger next, having blasted heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua for blowing a £67million super-fight. The heavyweight landscape has been engulfed by uncertainty in recent weeks, with the WBC on Wednesday delaying purse bids for Fury’s mandatory defence against Dillian Whyte for a fourth time.

Meanwhile, Joshua was reportedly offered a step-aside deal to cancel his rematch with WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO king Oleksandr Usyk, allowing Fury to fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed clash, while AJ would get the first crack at the winner.
In a video released on Wednesday night, Fury claimed that the Watford man’s decision to snub the deal has seen him lose out on $90m (£67m).

Now, Fury has confirmed that he will take on the Body Snatcher next, in a bout believed to take place on March 26, promising to ‘annihilate’ his rival, who he labelled a ‘bum’.

‘I can’t wait to punch Dillian Whyte’s face right in mate,’ he said. ‘I’m going to give him the best hiding he’s ever had in his life boy. Dillian Whyte, train hard sucker, ‘cos you’re getting annihilated bum.’
Fury’s latest update comes after he branded AJ and his promotor, Eddie Hearn, ‘the worst businessmen in history’ after turning down a step-aside deal this week.

It was reported this week that a £15m proposal was sent Joshua’s way, while Fury mentions a $90m (£67m) figure. It remains unclear whether Fury’s valuation includes AJ’s guaranteed fee for a shot at the winner of Fury v Usyk.
‘I had to do this video, Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua have to be the worst two damn businessmen in history. Today they lost $90million, god damn sons of b******,’ he said on Instagram.
The subject of Joshua’s step-aside offer has stirred debate among fans and pundits, with many believing that the deal is a no-brainer for the Watford man, who is reeling from a one-sided defeat by Usyk last September.

Sportsmail has since learnt that Joshua remains ready to agree to a step-aside deal if terms are finalised by Friday night. AJ is on the hunt for a new trainer, and with the rematch believed to take place in the next few months, a step aside deal would allow the Olympic champion more time to prepare for either Fury or Usyk with his team settled.

However, such a strategic ploy may affect his reputation, with Joshua insisting that he is a throwback fighter – game to take on any opponent.

Eddie Hearn said: ‘There has been an offer, there’s been several discussions with myself. I can’t rule it out, it’s not my job. AJ’s the boss – he will rule it out or not rule it out.

‘He’s very smart about the plan. He won’t want to do it. Sometimes you have to think with your head. There is a smart play here somewhere but Anthony is not about the money.

‘If the plan makes sense from a development point of view – working with a new trainer, maybe having a fight first, going into a much bigger fight – yeah, I can see the sense in it.

‘But with Anthony it’s never been a case of, “Here’s some money, does it tempt you?” Because he’s not about that, he’s a throwback fighter, he’s about legacy.
All he’s thinking about at the moment is beating Oleksandr Usyk.’
