Heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder

Whyte takes aim at 'coward' Fury ahead of Wilder showdown

Whyte appeared to be in line to face one of the leading names in the decision after defeating Joseph Parker, but Fury and Wilder are both now otherwise engaged after agreeing to face each other, most likely in Las Vegas in either November or December.

The Jamaican-born fighter has repeatedly taken to his social media pages in recent days to criticise the duo, however, prompting a response from Fury when he posted a video on Instagram on Sunday of a mock kiss between the former unified world champion and WBC title holder Wilder.
