After a period of uncertainty, Tyson Fury appeared to declare his next bout Friday night as he left a bowling alley in Morecambe beaming. The 6′ 9″ WBC champion chose to dress casually despite the inclement weather, donning shorts and his own gear, which included a cap and a zip-up track jacket with the words “Gypsy King” printed on it.

As he strolled with his wife, Paris, and a few guests to his elevator home, Fury was in a good mood. Despite his recent difficulties with the delays in deciding his next opponent, which resulted in a heated tirade directed at Anthony Joshua, he maintained this positive attitude.
The heavyweight champion also had cause to rejoice when he told Dillian Whyte that he had finally guaranteed himself a crack at the WBC world belt. Whyte is required to compete for the green and gold belt, which Fury currently has. Fury had, however, previously proposed that Whyte take into consideration a £5 million deal to resign and give him the opportunity to go on WBA, IBF, and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk.

As long as he receives a definite shot at the victor, Usyk is currently required to rematch Joshua, who has been considering a similar arrangement worth about £15 million to enable the Fury vs. Usyk fight to take place in Saudi Arabia.
The final auction for the Fury vs. Whyte fight is scheduled for Mexico City on Friday, following four postponed purse bids. Now that the talks are finished, Fury said he is prepared to take on Whyte. “I can’t wait to punch Dillian Whyte’s face right in, mate,” he said lightly. I will give him the finest hiding he has ever experienced. You will be destroyed, Dillian Whyte, so you better put in a lot of training.
Fury seems excited for the battle ahead based on his self-assured comments and upbeat demeanor.
