Dillian Whyte faces losing a chunk of the cash he earned from being blown away by Tyson Fury as he contests a different sort of fight outside the ring.Whyte had his shot at the WBC belt on Saturday night, but was outboxed throughout the contest.

And then his challenge came to an end in the sixth round when he was flattened by a huge uppercut which Fury admitted was one of the best punches of his career.Still, the Body Snatcher earned a pretty penny for his night's work, with his guaranteed take-home amount set at £6m.

He will earn more on top of that from his share of PPV money, while he is currently locked in a legal battle with the WBC in a bid to get more cash.He feels the minimal 80-20 purse split that he is on the wrong end of is unfair considering his status as interim champion.
