The much talked about undisputed fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will have to wait for much longer as the World Boxing Council has been ordered the Gypsy King to defend his heavyweight title against British rival Dillian Whyte.
The WBC named Whyte, on Tuesday, as Fury’s mandatory challenger and the two parties have 30 days to agree a deal, Megasportsarena.com reports.
Fury retained his title with an 11th-round brutal stoppage of American Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas in their third fight on 9 October.
The Fury-Whyte clash will likely take place in February or March 2022, with Cardiff or Manchester potential venues.
After beating Wilder in Las Vegas, Fury had a 30-day window to set up an clash for the undisputed title with Oleksandr Usyk, who beat Anthony Joshua in September to take the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts.
However, Joshua triggered a rematch clause with the Ukrainian, leading to Whyte being called as Fury’s mandatory challenger.
