Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte agreeing deals to step aside and allow the bout to happen. As Daily Star Sport first revealed last week, Joshua is believed to want in the region of £15m to walk away from his contracted rematch with WBA, IBF and WBO champion Usyk.Joshua is set to sit down with his 258 management team and promoter Eddie Hearn on Tuesday to make a decision.He confirmed on Monday that he is yet to see a contract and it is believed he won’t agree to the terms unless he has a guaranteed shot at the winner of Fury against Usyk.Whyte is mandatory for Fury’s WBC title and there are still talks ongoing between his team and The Gypsy King’s promoters Frank Warren and Bob Arum about a deal for that fight.But Whyte is also understood to be willing to accept in the region of £5m to give up his mandatory shot and allow the undisputed clash to happen.However, he wants assurances on his path to a shot at the title and will want it in writing which complicates matters further.If there is no deal in place for Fury to fight Usyk or Whyte by Wednesday morning then the Gypsy King’s team will go ahead with the WBC purse bids.That will end any hope of Fury facing Usyk next and all focus will turn to Whyte, most likely at the end of March or April.But Whyte is still arguing with the WBC over his split for those purse bids which is just 20 per cent with Fury getting 80 per cent of what pot of money is put up for the clash.Fury’s ambition is to fight Usyk next and become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.But the guarantee of funds from Saudi Arabia also has to be in place before everything can fall into line for contracts to be signed..
