Let us know in the comments section.Fury responded on social media, writing: "The red rose of Lancashire."But Whyte continued his online silence which has rumbled on for months.And the Body Snatcher could yet prevent the belt from being put on the line because he still hasn't signed the contract for the fight.The WBC have awarded Whyte just 20 per cent of the purse, equating to £6million, and gave him a deadline of Saturday 19 February to respond.Fury called on his rival to agree to the terms earlier this week but at the time of writing, that has not happened.If the bout does go ahead, it looks like it could be held at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, with Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, also rumoured.Regardless, Fury has said

Five potential opponents for Anthony Joshua as Brit makes decision on step aside offer
Anthony Joshua looks set to be left in no man's land if he decides to accept a £15m fee to step aside from his contracted rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.That figure would be enough for Eddie Hearn's prized asset to let his Ukrainian foe fight Tyson Fury in a unification fight instead, Daily Star Sport understands.Dillian Whyte, who's currently in-line to face Fury next as his mandatory challenger, would also need paying off, so there's still a long way to go for that to happen.But it could eventually lead to the long-awaited British showdown between Joshua and Fury.Before that can take place, AJ needs to get back to winning ways. He's shown he's not afraid to fight anyone, so here's five potential opponents he could face if Usyk moves on.The logical starting point for this list would be to let the two leftover heavyweights battle it out to earn the right to face the winner of the big one.It's been over six years now since Joshua first fought Whyte, who has beat all 12 opponents he's faced since that defeat.Instead of letting both men sit out and get rusty, lets have them run it back in 2022.Which would you like to see the most and the least? Let us know in the comments section.Another contest that makes some sense is Joshua completing his trilogy with Andy Ruiz - and he seems to be up for it.Before the Usyk fight was arranged last year, Hearn said of potential opponents: "There’s quite a few.

Tyson Fury warned Francis Ngannou hits harder than Deontay Wilder as bout considered
Tyson Fury withstood the punches of the most powerful heavyweight boxer in the world during his trilogy series with Deontay Wilder - but has been warned UFC champion Francis Ngannou would hit him harder.After stopping Wilder in the 11th round of their classic bout in Las Vegas last October, Fury is currently negotiating a WBC title defence with British rival Dillian Whyte.Ngannou meanwhile has also had his mind occupied by preparing for his heavyweight title defence with Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 270 in California on Saturday night.However, should both icons come through their respective clashes, then a historic meeting could be on the cards with the Cameroonian having declared his intent to switch codes and take on 'The Gypsy King'.Some pundits have questioned the boxing credentials of Ngannou, 35, but his manager Marquel Martin believes his man could adapt, and also subject Fury to bombs beyond what Wilder was capable of."Francis is dangerous for Fury because the best fighter to fight Fury to date is Deontay Wilder. Deontay isn't known for 'sweet science' - he's known for his devastating power," he told Sky Sports."With that power, he was able to successfully land some power shots that put Tyson on the canvas a few times."I acknowledge it's very difficult to hit Tyson.

Tyson Fury in talks over undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk as Anthony Joshua impacted
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are in talks over an undisputed bout, according to Bob Arum, which would see Anthony Joshua step aside from a rematch.Fury, who defended his WBC and The Ring world heavyweight belts against Deontay Wilder in October, would get the chance to take the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles Usyk won from Joshua in September.Joshua had been expecting to use his rematch clause to try and become a three-time heavyweight world champion at some point this year, but could now end up facing the winner of Fury vs Usyk.Veteran promoter Arum updated fans over ongoing talks on Wednesday morning, and mentioned the possibility that both Joshua and Dillian Whyte could step aside.Arum told talkSPORT: "It is total chaos."What’s happening is just promises coming out of the Middle East about doing a unified fight with Usyk and Fury, and is Dillian Whyte gonna step aside."And people that have absolutely no contractual ties – like Frank Warren’s Queensberry and our Top Rank do – are getting involved.Who will win between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk? Give us your verdict in the comments section"It’s a typical terrible kind of situation, but hopefully it’ll get sorted out and probably it will get sorted out with a purse bid on Friday."When asked which of Usyk or WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte he believes Fury will fight next, Arum replied: "I have absolutely no idea."Who are these people in the Middle East? And what’s their backing and all of that stuff? That’s not clear."All I know is that the contract with Tyson Fury is with Frank Warren’s Queensberry and Top Rank."Nobody has talked to us about buying out rights or getting our permission to go ahead."Earlier this month, Fury had lashed out at
