Hearn Goes to Appeal WBC's 80/20 Decision for Fury-Whyte

Eddie Hearn has said he will challenge the WBC's decision to share the total fee for the heavyweight world title fight between Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs). Promotional bidding for this meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, but the date of the competition may change in this situation.

Following the will of the World Boxing Council, the distribution of money in Tuesday's tender was set at 80 to 20 in favor of Fury. Hearn said he would appeal the WBC's decision through arbitration.

Fury's promoter Bob Arum recently announced that his fighter will return to the ring on March 26th in the UK, but due to the lack of an agreement with Whyte, Robert Helenius or Andy Ruiz Jr. could become the rival of the WBC heavyweight champion.
