DILLIAN WHYTE will fight Deontay wilder for the WBC world heavyweight title, if Tyson Fury has to withdraw from his rescheduled defense on compassionate grounds.
The undefeated Gypsy King has a scheduled trio bout with the American on October 9. However, he is currently at his wife Paris and Athena's bedside following the sudden death of Athena shortly after her birth.
Dillian Whyte will be available to fill in for Dillian on October 9
He has kept his daughter updated on her progress and raised money for Alder Hey, the hospital that saved her life.
John, the worried father and grandfather John, has made it clear that he will not allow his son to fly to Las Vegas to start his camp. He is concerned about his young family's safety.
According to the outspoken ex-fighter, "Nobody could have expected a boxing match would go on in such difficult times." Families are family, business is business, and sport is sports, but the family is at the top of the line.
"Because you're a happy man in your family who is able to keep everything in order at home, then you can perform on the evening.
"I am his father and he's here now. If there are any problems, we will cancel the fight. I will cancel it.
"But we want Wilder to fight so hopefully he gets a daughter home, and then hopefully we can start camp on August 14th or 15. Let people wait, it's just a boxing match.
"I don’t care if Wilder fights next year or he never fights me"
Tyson said Monday that he had completed a four-mile run in Liverpool with his father. He added, "We hope to God that the baby is released from hospital Wednesday so I can train for Deontay Wilder."
"That's about seven-and-a half weeks, which is enough time to make a mug as big as that."
Fury will only be able to do six weeks of dedicated training if he starts full-time on Wednesday.
It has been 18 months since Fury defeated Wilder in their first clash. Whyte was calling for the 6ft 9in Traveller, who allegedly had covid, to be made champion in recess after their July bout. This is similar to what they did with other champions who were injured or sick.
SunSport is confident that Fury, a 30-2 fan favourite who has been frustratingly kept in the frame for a WBC World Title shot shot in late 2017, will be allowed to continue fighting in case Fury needs additional time away from the ring. The sanctioning body will finally allow Fury his chance at the green and golden belt.
The Brixton Body Snatcher wants WBC boss Maurico Sulaiman, to immediately take action and return their title to the mix by putting Fury in recess and ordering Wilder fight him.
He would be able to fight Fury if he succeeds against the Bronze Bomber.
