TYSON FURY has claimed ‘coward’ Dillian Whyte wants to be paid just to turn up to a press conference to promote their fight in a brutal attack.
The battle of the Brits is yet to be rubber stamped and remains in danger of being CALLED OFF.
Whyte has been awarded just 20 per cent of the purse and the deadline for the contract to be signed is today – Saturday, February 19.
And according to heavyweight champ Fury, Whyte is asking to be paid to turn up to a press conference to promote their potential fight.
He said on Instagram: “I’ve just heard that little sausage Dillian Whyte wants paying to turn up to a press conference.
“You little, silly, fat sausage. You’re getting that (fist). Coward.”
Fury has also set up a Just Giving page so Whyte will turn up to the press conference.
And the generous Gypsy King said he’d put in the first donation of 47p.

He said: “Hi guys, just a quick one. I’m setting up a Just Giving page for Dilian Whyte so he can show up to the press conference and I’m going to donate first.
“My donation is 47p, you useless dosser.”
Should the fight be signed off, Fury says it WILL be in the UK and April 23 is the likely spot on the calendar.
The most likely venue for Fury vs Whyte is reportedly Cardiff or Manchester, but no details are set in stone.
And either Fury or Whyte could be leaving with a special one-off Union Belt.
A WBC statement read: “The World Boxing Council proudly announces the Union Belt.
“This unique belt will be presented as a special trophy to the winner of the highly anticipated fight between WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and WBC interim Heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte.
“The Union belt extols special elements to celebrate and commemorate the United Kingdom through boxing.”
