TYSON FURY has fired a warning shot to heavyweight rival Deontay Wilder urging him to arrange their trilogy scrap.
The Gypsy King snatched the WBC belt from the Bronze Bomber in February after their controversial draw in December.

As part of contractual obligations, the pair are braced to have one final showdown with Anthony Joshua waiting in the wings.
The initial scrap was scheduled for July 25 before being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
There was talk it could be rescheduled for December but talk has since gone quiet from the American’s camp.
And now the Fury has attempted to reignite the feud by aiming a jab at him on Twitter.
He wrote: “Where you at mush? The clock is ticking!!
“I’m not gonna wait forever!!! There are other bums in the division that I want to eat for breakfast.”
Fury is referring to WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte who takes on hard-hitting Russian Alexander Povetkin on Saturday in Eddie Hearn’s backyard.
The Gypsy King has been ordered by the WBC to fight the winner in before March ahead of his double-header with Joshua.
Wilder did come out of the woodwork earlier this month when he took a swipe at his rival.
He said: “I don’t see Fury as a champion. He ain’t the champion yet, we still got one more fight left.
“And I’m looking forward to giving the world the best of Deontay Wilder.”
Not willing to let his opponent have the final word, Fury hit back: “Keep letting yourself down @bronzebomber it’s sad.
“It was you I smashed that’s the truth. Just admit it and move on, it’s just a fight you win some you lose some that’s boxing pal.”
