With this tweet, not only did Whyte dismiss Fury’s claim of being number one, but he also accused ‘The Gypsy King’ of avoiding him on two separate occasions and even called him a coward. Clearly ‘The Body Snatcher’ disagrees with Fury’s claim of there only ever being one champion.

Since Whyte is the WBC interim champion, it outs him next in line for the WBC belt. However, since ‘The Gypsy King’ has agreed to a two-fight deal with Anthony Joshua, Whyte will have to wait at least a year. Moreover, he will have to hope that Fury beats ‘AJ’.

If that is the case, then maybe we will get to witness Fury and Whyte settle their long-standing beef. However, for now, fans and followers of the sport will have to wait to see that match-up.
