Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) has not yet signed a contract to fight with Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) for the WBC heavyweight belt. King of the Gypsy promoter Frank Warren, however, says "everything is under control" and he doesn't expect White to give up his chance at the championship.

“Contracts must be signed before February 19, and I expect that they will be signed. If, for some strange reason, they don't put their signatures, they simply drop out of the game," said the head of Queensberry Promotions.

“White has time until February 19, so for now he has not done anything drastic to make the fight fall apart. Of course, we would prefer that the signatures were put earlier, because in this case we could start promotion of the fight, but it is what it is," Warren added.

Dillian Whyte will receive $7 million to fight Tyson Fury. If he wins, he will receive an additional 4 million.
