Tyson Fury hints he will fight Dillian Whyte next after suggesting Anthony Joshua has turned down huge step-aside offer

Tyson Fury has suggested Anthony Joshua and turned down a lucrative step-aside offer and dropped his strongest hint yet that he will fight Dillian Whyte next.

Reports this week have claimed Joshua has been offered a huge step-aside offer to allow Olesksandr Usyk to fight Fury first to crown the heavyweight division’s first unified champion since Lennox Lewis.

Fury meanwhile had until 6pm Wednesday evening to agree terms for a WBC title defence against Whyte, the mandatory challenger for the belt.

The pair have since been given an extra 48 hours to freely negotiate following an extension request from both camps.

The delayed period had granted Fury’s team more time to negotiate a deal with Joshua to give up his rematch with Usyk to pave the way for the unification fight.

But in his latest video shared on Instagram Fury sent a warning to Whyte, suggesting his focus is now on a showdown with the Brixton heavyweight.  

‘I can’t wait to punch Dillian Whyte’s face right in,’ Fury said.

‘I’m going to give him the best hiding he’s ever had in his life, boy. Dillian Whyte, train hard sucker, because you’re getting annihilated, bum.’
