Tyson Fury has issued a reminder to rival Dillian Whyte that he has just three days left to sign the contract for their heavyweight bout.
The 'Gypsy King' is preparing to face Whyte in a domestic duel after being ordered to defend his WBC title against the 'Body Snatcher'.
Whyte has been largely silent after Frank Warren won purse bids with a bumper £31million offer and he has now been issued a deadline by the WBC to sign the contract.
Fury has reminded Whyte of the looming cut-off point in another social media video, when he warned: "Good morning Morecambe Bay, Whyte you little sucker you have three days left b****. Sign the contract p****."
The fight between the pair is set to be confirmed for April 23 with Wembley Stadium the 'agreed venue' providing both men sign the contract ahead of the looming deadline.
WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE:
Whyte is yet to respond to any of Fury's social media attacks and has issued just a single two-word blunt message with the British showdown looming.
Talks were previously underway for Whyte and Anthony Joshua to step aside and allow Fury to face Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed clash but a deal failed to materialise.
Warren later trumped Whyte's previous promoter Eddie Hearn in purse bids, which will see Fury earn at least £25m from the clash after being granted an 80 per cent share of the purses.
His rival will earn 20 per cent of the purses which equates to £6 million with 10 per cent of the purse also available to the winner which could raise his earnings to £9m.
The challenger's silence has been explained by Hearn as failing to "believe" the fight is actually going to take place.

He is also currently training for the fight and the contract is being reviewed by Whyte's lawyers with no problems expected to derail the clash.
Whyte may choose to remain silent after the fight was announced to be promoted by Fury's co-promoter Warren and Queensberry Promotions.
Bob Arum has now accused Whyte of demanding more money to break his silence and help promote the fight in the build-up.
"He’s saying, ‘I want extra money to promote' [but] or position is, ‘We’re not gonna give it to you,'" Arum told Queensberry Promotions.
"Now, if the fight does enormously well, we’ll give you a taste at the back end where everybody has made money.
"But we’re not going to be put in a position where you’re threatening us that you’re not going to participate in the promotion. If he doesn’t, he’s a damn fool because there’s always tomorrow.
"Even if he loses the fight, by participating the promotion he builds his own image and his own career."
