Fury decisively finished ‘The Bronze Bomber’ in their first outing thus solidifying his position at the top. Following a draw in their first contest, Fury has now managed to become the headliner in the world of boxing. The end of the year is fated to see the trilogy fight between the two.

This leaves Dillian Whyte out in the cold for the time being. Whyte has grown frustrated after once again being delayed an opportunity to fight for unification. ‘The Body Snatcher’ has long spoken of a bout with Wilder which would be an electric war between two power punchers.

Per reports Whyte may be promoted to Fury’s championship status due to the delay. However, this will impact his legacy amongst fans as well as deny him an immediate opportunity to showcase his ability.
