Tyson Fury and Dilian Whyte are set to face off in the ring later this year with purse bids for the WBC-mandated contest to be confirmed on Friday.
With a fight between Fury and Whyte back on after delays to negotiations, it looks as though a deal for Oleksandr Usyk to fight Anthony Joshua for a second time will also be confirmed in the near future.

"Win or lose the purse bid that fight will happen. I believe Dillian Whyte can win that fight, especially with everything
