WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman revealed Tyson Fury will have talks with the governing body regarding his status as champion. Dillian Whyte, who is Fury’s mandatory challenger has pressed charges against the WBC due to delays in his mandatory bout.

However, Fury has mentioned time and again, that he’s not interested in facing Whyte. Also, the Gypsy King is heading towards a trilogy bout against Deontay Wilder and has agreed to a contract in principle to face Anthony Joshua.

This news was not received well by Whyte. Whyte feels he’s a worthy challenger and his resume speaks for itself. The WBC interim champion has amassed a record of (27-1) with his only loss coming against Anthony Joshua.

“We are addressing every weight category separately. The WBC is in the process of contacting every champion to assess their current status and plans”.

“The WBC will be looking into each category and will review each case and rule taking into consideration the variables that have to do with each case.” Said Sulaiman to Sky Sports

Reports suggest Fury might be crowned the WBC’s franchise champion if things go his way. This would bar Fury from all his mandatory challenges, with the WBC doing the same with Canelo Alvarez as well.

Despite, Whyte taking legal action, Fury feels it’s of no use due to the pandemic

“He won’t get very far with the suing because everything has 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”. Said Fury to behind the gloves
