TYSON FURY slammed Dillian Whyte's silence since the fight announcement, and demanded that he 'come out of hiding.
Before their WBC title fight, the purse bid for the British heavyweights was record-breaking.
Tyson Fury's title requires Dillian Whyte
Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, won the rights to host the domestic grudge match. He offered a staggering PS30.6million.
After the confirmation of his first fight for the world championship, Whyte has yet to respond.
Fury, who is very vocal, now sends a direct message his mandatory challenger to offer him 'a good hiding place'.
In a tweet, he said: "Whyte feathers coward. Where are you Whyte feathers?
"You wanted to be a world champion with Deontay Wilder for three consecutive years. But you never got it.
"It was three minutes that you were required to fight you, and you won your fight, weren't you coward?" "Tyson Fury is a coward and he doesn't want Dillian Whyte to fight him,"
"But then it's on your feet and you've gone silent, little b ****. Get out of hiding Whyte feathers. It's yours.
"You're getting a good hide, you wanted some free money didn't yosser?"
"But now, you're getting eight millions, which is seven and-a-half times more for you, you old dosser. Bum, come out and speak up.
After being given a 20% split, Whyte (33), was made WBC mandatory to Fury's title.
With an arbitration case expected to be completed by March, the contender can still appeal the decision.
SunSport was informed by a source within the Whyte camp that "the fact that the purse bids elicited two of the highest purse offers ever is a testament Dillian Whyte’s extreme marketability."
"This fact could have led to the WBC giving him a 50/50 split under the relevant provision in their rules, and certainly not less that the minimum percentage (80-20), provided there.
It stalled negotiations with Fury, and it left opposing teams preferring auction against one another in purse bids instead of agreeing terms for fees.
However, the Middle Eastern backers were also financing cash and talks for Gypsy King 33 to face Oleksander Usyk.
After his September 12-round defeat, Usyk, 35 is now contracted to a rematch against Anthony Joshua, 32.
It meant that AJ and Whyte would need separate step-aside agreements to give Saudi the undisputed title decider.
According to reports, fees were agreed up until the last minute after a dispute over terms.
Fury claimed Joshua wanted an additional PS3.7m, while Usyk was accused of wanting an interim bout before facing him.
Joshua was able to defeat Usyk in the end, and the heavyweight unification fell apart.
After Warren's successful purse bid was approved, Fury will fight Whyte on April 23rd in Cardiff.
