Dillian Whyte and Tyson Fury were ordered to fight for a final eliminator by the WBC before Whyte facing the current WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Willder.
However, Whyte was sceptical as to whether former heavyweight champion in 2015 will accept the fight, but insisted he would take the fight if it became a realistic possibility.
“I’m the ‘can man,’ whoever want it can get it. I’ve been trying to fight Tyson Fury for a number of years now. We’ve made multiple attempts and it never happened. If he wants to fight, he knows where I am. But I can’t see the fight happening.” Whyte said.
“If Tyson fury can walk away from a rematch with Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight world title, why would he fight me for the ‘interim’ title? It doesn’t make sense.” Whyte added.
Deontay Wilder meets mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale on May 18, in a heavyweight title grudge match at Barclays Center.
Whyte on the other side, he has been frustrated with how the situation has unraveled and remains locked in an argument with the WBC as he feels he’s been unfairly treated by them.
“There’s a lot of things going on with the WBC at the minute. Everyone knows I’m very angry at them and the way I’ve been treated.” Whyte said.
“Everyone knows Deontay Wilder should’ve been fighting me and not Dominic Breazeale. But for some reason the WBC insist on protecting him.
“It’s a funny subject, I can’t really say too much, a lot of these boxing authorities are very touchy. The public can see what I’ve done, how many WBC title fights I’ve had, how many times I’ve defended my number one position. It’s crazy, I don’t understand it.
“Now, with the WBC, I think it’s just delaying tactics by them. “It’s frustrating, it’s stressful, it’s a bit disheartening to be honest.
“Fury could’ve fought Oscar Rivas, he said no, Anthony Joshua could’ve fought Oscar Rivas, he said no, look who they’re fighting.” the 31-year-old added.
