Fury has signed his part of the 80 – 20 purse deal against the mandatory challenger.

Now the Gypsy King is just waiting for Brixton banger Whyte to put pen to paper.

Fury posted a video and a selection of photos of his boxing belts, each in their own glass box.

There are the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO straps he won when he sensationally outpointed Vladimir Klitschko in 2015.

The Ring Magazine belt is also included in the collection.

In pride of place at the top of the stack is the iconic green and gold WBC belt.

Queen’s classic ‘We Are The Champions’ was chosen by Fury as the backing track as he shared the video on Twitter and Instagram.

The Gypsy King also shared a photo of him sat on a throne with his Manchester United shirt on.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has recently said that Whyte is out of the heavyweight world title race if he refuses to sign the £30million deal to fight Fury by the end of the week.

The WBC have awarded the 33-year-old challenger just 20 per cent of the purse – a basic £6million – and set a deadline of Saturday (19th) to return the signed contract.

If he doesn’t sign he’s out

Whyte has remained stoically silent in the months of build-up, leaving fans to wonder if he is holding up proceedings to annoy Team Fury and their BT Sport broadcasters – or if promoter Eddie Hearn is offering him an alternative career path.

But Warren, whose Queensberry brand won the purse bid with the record-breaking £30m figure, has told bitter rival Hearn and the Body Snatcher that it’s his way or the highway.

“If he doesn’t sign he’s out,” Warren said. “Those were the terms of the purse bid.

“Why wouldn’t he sign? He’s getting a massive purse, it makes no sense for him not to sign.

“From the day of the purse bid, there were 21 days to lodge the contract, regardless of what Eddie Hearn says.

“We’re not even dealing with Hearn, we’re dealing with Dillian Whyte’s lawyer, Hearn has no involvement unless we’re told otherwise.

“We’ve been dealing and negotiating with his lawyer and that’s it.”
