Tyson Fury has continued his public goading of Dillian Whyte, imploring his heavyweight rival to sign the necessary contracts for their proposed title fight.
Whyte has until Saturday (February 19) to pen official terms for a long-awaited shot at Fury’s WBC title after last month Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions, in partnership with Fury’s US promoters Top Rank, won the right to promote the all-British showdown by outbidding rival Eddie Hearn and Matchroom with a massive, record bid of $41million.
However, the contracts have yet to be officially signed, with Whyte remaining silent amid suggestions that he is unhappy with some of the financial aspects of the deal, including a reported 80/20 purse split in Fury’s favour.
The champion has not relented with his social media mocking of his mandatory challenger as that weekend deadline draws ever closer, warning that time is now quickly running out on an opportunity that Whyte has craved for several years.
While out on a training run in Morecambe Bay on Wednesday, an upbeat Fury said in a short clip posted to his 2.1 million Twitter followers: “Dillian Whyte you little sucker, you’ve got three days left, b***h.

“Sign the contract, p***y.”
Whyte has maintained a low public profile of late, resisting the urge to respond to Fury’s frequent jibes in public.
Top Rank chief Bob Arum has accused ‘The Bodysnatcher’ of demanding more money to promote the high-profile bout, which is expected to take place on April 23, likely at Wembley Stadium - Fury’s first contest on English soil since his comeback win over Sefer Seferi in Manchester back in June 2018.
