There has been a lot of build-up surrounding Tyson Fury’s homecoming British bout with Dillian Whyte since the mandatory WBC fight was announced, not least regarding purse bid disagreements.
The bout - Fury 's first on home soil since 2018 - is set to take place at the Principality Stadium in Wales on March 26 but disgruntlement over payments from Whyte’s camp has cast the fight into doubt.
After originally being pushed back to Wednesday 6pm, the deadline has been extended once again to Friday (January 28) in the hope a deal can be struck in time.
The news was released on crunch day at 4.30pm, just hours after Eddie Hearn confirmed Anthony Joshua has received an offer to step aside from his rematch with Usyk to free the path for a unification bout with Fury.
The offer reportedly includes the clause that he would see him take on the winner of the contest.
However, if the fight between Fury and Whyte does go ahead, it could delay - or even scupper - the chances of this taking place.
There has been a heated war of words between both parties about the figures involved, even including some mention of alternative opponents.

"I've always said that from day one. What happens every time a boxer fights for a title, they lodge their contracts with the relevant governing body.
"The contracts that he's lodged for his last few fights; his last one was £300,000 and prior to that it was approximately £500,000.
"Tyson's last fight was £20million, so it could be nothing other than an 80-20 split, and really if you look at the money that they've earned on their last fights it shouldn't even be that - but it is what it is."
