Tyson Fury is ready to fight Dillian Whyte in a mandatory WBC fight, according to Frank Warren.
The heavyweight champion’s co-promoter wrote in the Daily Star that discussions had begun in order to make a fight in early 2022.
“And that’s exactly what we are doing now - discussing what could be the perfect homecoming for the Gypsy King,” he wrote.
“Tyson has no fear of taking on any challenger so once the decision was made by the WBC we were ready for it.
“He has already beaten the most dangerous puncher [Deontay Wilder] in the division twice - three times if you count the first fight he was robbed of a win in - so why would anyone pose a threat to him?”
Warren is aiming to put the fight on in the UK after Fury has spent most of the second half of his career in the US.
“Whyte will get his chance once we come to an agreement on a deal and he will get to see what elite level heavyweight boxing is,” he stated.
“And I would love to put it on in the UK in February or March
“It will be nearly four years since Tyson has fought on these shores after he has gone over and conquered America.
“The decision on where it ends up will come down to a number of factors, though.
“I’m sure there will be plenty of interest from abroad, too.”
In anticipation of a win over Whyte, Warren hopes that they would then move onto an undisputed clash.
He explained: “So it now looks like it will be Whyte next for the Gypsy King and then we will move onto the undisputed showdown in the summer against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.
“These are exciting times for the heavyweight division.”
