Fury is set to face Deontay Wilder in the final edition of their trilogy saga. In addition, Fury recently agreed to a contract in principle to face Anthony Joshua.
Naturally, this news was not received well by Dillian Whyte. As is obvious considering how the interim heavyweight champion is pursuing legal action against the WBC.
However, due to Fury’s commitments, there are talks of him being crowned as the WBC franchise champion, which will spare him from mandatory commitments.
“I’m sure his lawyers know what they’re doing”-Tyson Fury
“He won’t get very far with suing because everything’s been put on hold, hasn’t it? It’s like the world has been put on hold, so everything has to move along with the holdback.
“I was supposed to fight in July, but that’s not happening now. I’m not going to sue from it because it’s the pandemic, and obviously, I’ll get nowhere. But I’m sure his lawyers know what they’re doing with it all,” Fury told Behind The Gloves.
The pandemic has halted all plans for the heavyweight titans this year. Whyte is set to face Alexander Povetkin this summer. Similarly, Fury is heading towards trilogy bout against Wilder, although a date hasn’t been confirmed.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman commented on the situation, although he wasn’t able to reveal too much due to legal reasons.
“There is a procedure with regards to the date of the mandatory in the heavyweight division. Upon direct advice of WBC legal counsel, I am not in a position to discuss any further,” said Sulaiman
Although fans would love to see Fury face Dillian Whyte, The Gypsy King revealed he’s not interested in the bout.
