INTERNATIONAL: Tyson Fury held a workout in front of the media on Tuesday 19th April, but once again Dillian Whyte was a no show ahead of their world title fight.

Whyte had previously not attended a promotional press conference for the British pair's WBC world championship fight after disagreements with the promoters about the size of his share of the purse.

The undefeated Fury (31-0-1), who beat Deontay Wilder to become WBC champion, will face mandatory challenger Whyte after a deal to fight Ukraine's WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title fell apart.

Whyte has been waiting years for a shot at the world title as the WBC's top-ranked contender.

After months of drawn-out negotiations, Fury's co-promoter Frank Warren won the purse bid in January with an offer of $41 million, beating Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn who was the only other bidder.

Fury is now set to receive 80% of the purse and Whyte the remaining 20%.

The fight will take place at London's Wembley Stadium on 23rd April.
