Tyson Fury‘s campaign to be the social media top bully continues. Whilethe GipsyKingis still waiting to know which his next boxing fight is going to be, he invests his time in smashing his possible, or at least, desired rivals. Anthony Joshua was the last victim of Fury’s acid humor.
The World Boxing Council (WBC) has ordered Fury to face his countryman Dillian Whyte as a mandatory bout to defend his World Heavyweight title. However, it seems the fight is far away to be agreed upon. One of the main reasons is the ruled purse bid of80 / 20 in Tyson’s favor.
The Gipsy Kingis promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank and Frank Warren; Whyte’s promoter is Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn. According to Boxing Scene, Arum has already sent an initial offer to Dillian which guarantees not 20 but 25 % of the purse, but it has been turned down causethe Villainwants no less than $10 million.

Regardless of the purse bid situation, the 33-year-old boxer has not shown much enthusiasm in facing Dillian Whyte. Before fighting for the third time Deontay Wilder in October 2021, his publicly announced plan was to clash against Anthony Joshua, and this idea might not have left his mind, because he searches for a way to drawAJ’sattention.

Fury’sflirting with UFC Champion Francis Ngannou keeps on
According to his own words, what fully provokes Tyson Fury’s excitement is not the idea of facing Dillian Whyte, but to star a crossover against UFC World Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou. The Cameroonian and the British have already exchanged words about it on social media and Tyson’s”promotion” of the event continues.

The world would want to see the Clash of the Heavyweight Titans,” said Fury on a video of his own in which he tagged his promoter company Top Rank and Dana White’s UFC.
