Dillian Whyte breaks silence to demand ‘f***ing war’ and Tyson Fury responds

Dillian Whyte has spoken out amid the ongoing chaos in the heavyweight division at present.

As things stand, the Tyson Fury has been ordered to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte, while Anthony Joshua has triggered his contractual clause for a rematch with WBA, IBF and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk.

However, there is interest from the Middle East in staging an undisputed title bout between Fury and Usyk next.

As a result, negotiations are ongoing about a potential mega deal for that fight, while also paying both Joshua and Whyte to step aside and allow it to happen.

A report earlier this week claimed that Joshua was ‘close to accepting’ the deal at his end, but he’s since hit back at this and branded it ‘bulls***’.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn stated that he is set to sit down with Joshua and his management team today (Tuesday) to go through their options and make a decision.

Now, Whyte has broken his silence.

He wrote on Instagram on Tuesday: “I just want f***ing war.

“That’s all I want is to go to war with the best.

“Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn – f*** all this ‘he said, she said’ bulls***.”

Fury quickly responded to this and said: “Good man, let the wars begin.”

It still remains unclear how the situation will play out.

Fury and Whyte could very well end up meeting next, if the proposed double step-aside deal cannot be finalised.

Either way, Whyte would have to agree to make way – as would Joshua – if Fury is to instead face Usyk.
