Frank Warren has reiterated that Eddie Hearn has no involvement in Dillian Whyte’s clash with Tyson Fury.And the Queensberry chief has warned Whyte he must sign the contract to face the Gypsy King by this weekend or his WBC heavyweight title shot will vanish.Warren won the purse bids to stage the bout after the WBC confirmed Whyte as Fury’s mandatory challenger.They are in discussions with Whyte’s lawyer and expect him to put pen to paper this week before the February 19 deadline.Warren said: “If he doesn’t sign he’s out.

Those were the terms of the purse bid.“Why wouldn’t he sign? He’s getting a massive purse, it makes no sense for him to sign.”Whyte is expected to sign the contract but is still looking for more than the £5.6m on offer.He may refuse to do any promotion for the fight if he doesn’t get a bigger offer but it won’t come.Whyte has the chance to add a further £3.1m if he becomes the first man to beat Fury.The Body Snatcher won’t have to pay a cut to Hearn, who has promoted the majority of his professional fights.Hearn has no contract with Whyte as they always worked on a fight-by-fight basis.Warren added: “One, we’re not dealing with him, we’re dealing with Dillian Whyte’s lawyer.“He has no involvement unless we’re told otherwise.“We’ve been dealing and negotiating with his lawyer, and that’s it.“He has a lot of things to say, he said Tyson was never going to fight Deontay Wilder the first time.
