    And just in case anyone failed to recognise the 6ft 9in boxer, 33, he was decked out in all of his own merchandise.
    Fury had a zip up tracky top on with the words ‘Gypsy King’ on the front of it and a cap as he walked back for his lift home alongside his wife Paris and some friends.
    Despite his frustration at the hold up over his next opponent, which led to a furious rant at Anthony Joshua yesterday, he was only too happy to pose for a snap for some fans.
    And now we maybe know why the heavyweight was in such a good mood as he told Dillian Whyte earlier that he has finally got his WBC world title shot.
    The Gypsy King holds the green and gold belt that Whyte is mandatory challenger for.
    But the undefeated ace wanted Whyte to accept around £5million to step aside and let him fight WBA, IBF and WBO boss Oleksandr Usyk.

    The Ukraine sensation is contractually obliged to rematch Anthony Joshua but AJ was considering a similar deal in the region of £15m to let Fury vs Usyk happen – in Saudi Arabia – IF he was guaranteed a lucrative shot at the eventual winner and holder of all four belts.
    After four delayed purse bids for the Fury vs Whyte clash – the final auction is now scheduled for Mexico City on Friday – Fury suggested the negotiations were over and Whyte had finally got his shot.
    Putting on his best cockney accent, the Morecambe giant boomed: “I can’t wait to punch Dillian Whyte’s face right in, mate.
    “I am going to give him the best hiding he has ever had in his life.
    “Dillian Whyte, train hard because you are going to get annihilated, bum.”

    Tyson Fury’s five options for next fight like cave to Whyte’s demands, take on UFC’s Ngannou or RETIREMENT curveball

    TYSON FURY has told his heavyweight world title rivals they are running out of time to make fights or accept step-aside deals.But the 6ft 9in undefeated WBC king has plenty of options whichever way the giant-fortune cookie crumbles over the next 24 hours.
    Fury has not fought since beating Deontay Wilder in October of last yearCredit: AP
    Ideally Fury wants to delay his overdue mandatory challenge from Dillian Whyte, leaving him free to face WBA, IBF and WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, to crown an undisputed king.
    But that would mean Whyte and Anthony Joshua – who has activated his rematch clause to rerun his September loss to Usyk – not only accepting step-aside money but also the warring pair agreeing terms for who gets first dibs at the winner.
    It’s expensive and confusing but could crown the first four-belt heavyweight ruler in history and secure iconic legacies for the four men involved.
    But this is a Gypsy King who insists money, world titles and even records and reputations are worthless.
    So SunSport has had a look at his options as the clock ticks down to some major announcements and potential shocks.

    Plan A
    A big-money boxing fan is ready to stump up the cash to pay AJ and Whyte the step-aside dough and let Fury and Usyk clash in the desert.
    Fury would then just be 12 rounds away from emulating Brit legend Lennox Lewis and becoming undisputed champ.
    If he succeeds he will be one of the biggest stars on the planet and his next step would be pretty unpredictable.
    Any deal AJ and Whyte agree to will have watertight rights to a shot at his WBC title and would like carry huge financial penalties if he were to retire, exit the sport in any way or fail to fulfil his obligation.
    But Fury might see that as a fair price to pay for being able to complete the game, retire undefeated and scatter all the belts around, making it almost impossible for any of his rivals, of this era, to emulate.

    Plan B
    Whyte has ongoing legal and arbitration cases with the WBC regarding the length of time he has had to wait for his shot at the green and gold belt and his share of the potential Fury purse.
    SunSport understands Fury cannot defend his WBC world title against anyone but Whyte until these disputes are settled.
    But his UK promoter Frank Warren has had the Manchester arena on hold for March 26 for some time and he has confirmed Fury could take a keep-warm fight without the WBC world title on the line.
    Fury would still defend his respected Ring Magazine belt and his claim to mythical lineal championship and it would serve as a UK homecoming after a handful of American away paypays. 
    This would also give Whyte and the WBC and AJ and Usyk to settle their differences.

    Plan C
    Fury loves playing mind games with all of his rivals and in totally different sports too.
    UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou defended his crown at the weekend and is at war with the company over his relatively poor pay when compared to boxers of similar standing.
    Ngannou has insisted he will not fight for the UFC again under his current contract and Fury has teased him about his £500,000-per-fight earnings.
    The WBC would probably even back the move by making Fury their franchise or emeritus champion and creating a new fairytale belt for the Brit and Cameroonian to fight over, as they did with the Money Belt they sanctioned Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor to fight over.

    Plan D
    The WBC have decided Whyte only deserves 20 per cent of the purse from any potential fight with Fury.
    Considering the 34-year-old Brixton Body Snatcher is their interim champion, former diamond champion and mandatory challenger, it seems very harsh and SunSport understands Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn would appeal that figure if it was enforced.
    A simple solution would be for Fury to accept parting with around 30 per cent of the potential windfall and meeting Whyte in a UK ring.
    But it seems Fury and the WBC have a shared dislike for Whyte and they are unlikely to help the contractual lone wolf in any way.
    Negotiations with Whyte and his representatives continue to rumble onCredit: PA
    Plan E
    Fury is in the middle of a gruelling training camp, hammering his body alongside fellow heavyweight Joseph Parker and refuelling thanks to imported US nutrition guru George Lockhart.
    He seems primed to fight but Fury is totally unpredictable and could scupper everyone’s plans by retiring – temporarily or not.
    That drastic move would leave the WBC belt vacant and the unregulated Mexican organisation free to pick from their rankings someone for Whyte to face.
    And, following all the bad blood and legal rows that have gone on between them, the WBC could hand him a high-risk low-pay clash against someone like Deontay Wilder, Luis Ortiz or even Brit Joe Joyce.
    Fury’s undefeated record would remain intact and he would be backed to return at any time to carry on his career for the sanctioning body.
    But this move seems unlikely with so many big-money options on the table. More

    Furious Dillian Whyte will begrudgingly accept 80-20 Tyson Fury purse split – but demands court awards him more

    DILLIAN WHYTE will accept the 80-20 split for the Tyson Fury fight if his court case against the WBC does not get it boosted.Brixton’s 33-year-old heavyweight has been offered the minimal purse percentage despite his status as interim champion and mandatory challenger.
    Dillian Whyte is fuming that he looks set to be offered 20 per cent of the purse pot to fight Tyson Fury
    Whyte’s team, including promoter Hearn, are furious with the WBC’s decision and have launched another arbitration against them.
    And Hearn expects that to kybosh the purse bids that were scheduled for Mexico City on January 11.
    The Matchroom boss said: “There is a lot going on legally behind the scenes with Dillian and the WBC, we are not at all happy with the 80-20 split ruling and there is a process now that we have to go through to object.
    “He would accept it once an arbitration or court has taken place because he feels very strongly.
    “He feels 80-20 is not fair but if the Court of Arbitration decides it is then I think he will proceed.
    “The offers that have come to Dillian so far have not been acceptable. But the number we bid at purse bids probably will be, so he is in no rush to take unfair deals.

    “But we expect the split to be increased via the process we are going through.”
    And Hearn reckons the latest case Team Whyte have launched against the sanctioning body will mean Tuesday’s purse bid is actually cancelled, leaving this all-English grudge match to stew even longer.
    “I expect it to be delayed,” he said. “I don’t see how it can go ahead, with the arbitration case ongoing.
    “I absolutely think the fight will happen, even at 80-20 and it’s not about Dillian’s split, it is about the valuation of the fight and that will help us win the purse bid.
    “But I think that will be delayed because of the arbitration – but that is down to the WBC.”
    Fury’s UK promoter Frank Warren has revealed the Gypsy King has decided to fight again on March 26 – with or without the green and gold belt – and Whyte has to decide soon if he wants to be his date.
    But rival match maker Hearn believes it’s just a ploy to bully Whyte into taking the disappointing deal.
    He said: “The danger is Fury boxes on March 26 and it won’t be Dillian because the case is ongoing. But that is just to put pressure on Dillian to take a poor deal.
    “Tyson might want to shelve the WBC belt and just defend his Ring Magazine belt but that could have legal implications with the arbitration case. It is a bit of a mess.
    “If I am Fury – and I’m not fighting Usyk – then I would fight Whyte because it is the biggest money fight out there for him and it gets rid of his mandatory.
    “But (US promoter) Bob Arum and Frank Warren won’t want to pay the money that we think Dillian Whyte is worth to that fight.
    “Until they do that there will be no deal and they will try to get a cheap opponent for March.”

    “He feels 80-20 is not fair but if the Court of Arbitration decides it is then I think he will proceed.
    “The offers that have come to Dillian so far have not been acceptable. But the number we bid at purse bids probably will be, so he is in no rush to take unfair deals.

    “But we expect the split to be increased via the process we are going through.”
    And Hearn reckons the latest case Team Whyte have launched against the sanctioning body will mean Tuesday’s purse bid is actually cancelled, leaving this all-English grudge match to stew even longer.
    “I expect it to be delayed,” he said. “I don’t see how it can go ahead, with the arbitration case ongoing.
    “I absolutely think the fight will happen, even at 80-20 and it’s not about Dillian’s split, it is about the valuation of the fight and that will help us win the purse bid.
    “But I think that will be delayed because of the arbitration – but that is down to the WBC.”
    Fury’s UK promoter Frank Warren has revealed the Gypsy King has decided to fight again on March 26 – with or without the green and gold belt – and Whyte has to decide soon if he wants to be his date.
    But rival match maker Hearn believes it’s just a ploy to bully Whyte into taking the disappointing deal.
    He said: “The danger is Fury boxes on March 26 and it won’t be Dillian because the case is ongoing. But that is just to put pressure on Dillian to take a poor deal.
    “Tyson might want to shelve the WBC belt and just defend his Ring Magazine belt but that could have legal implications with the arbitration case. It is a bit of a mess.
    “If I am Fury – and I’m not fighting Usyk – then I would fight Whyte because it is the biggest money fight out there for him and it gets rid of his mandatory.
    “But (US promoter) Bob Arum and Frank Warren won’t want to pay the money that we think Dillian Whyte is worth to that fight.
    “Until they do that there will be no deal and they will try to get a cheap opponent for March.”
    Tyson Fury is next set for action on March 26 – according to his promoter Frank Warren More

    Tyson Fury reveals he ‘couldn’t be in a very better place’ after 11 days non-stop training and teases ‘big news coming’

    TYSON FURY revealed he ‘couldn’t be in a very better place’ after 11 days non-stop training and teased that there is ‘big news coming’. The WBC heavyweight champion is coming off an 11th-round knockout in his epic trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder.

    Fury has eyed a return before March and has already got off to a flying start having resumed training again.
    He said on Twitter: “For 11 days now guys I’ve ran every morning and trained every night, weights and cardio.
    “I’m absolutely feeling fantastic, I couldn’t be in a very better place if I tried. Just waiting on some big news coming.”
    Fury, 33, had been ordered to defend his title against mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, 33, after knocking out Wilder, 36.
    But Whyte was locked in a legal dispute over the percentage of the purse bids, which had been hampering negotiations.
    It has since been revealed Fury will only have to give his rival a 20 per cent of the split in their potential showdown.

    Whyte, the WBCs No1 contender since 2017, pushed for a 40 per cent split based on his interim-champion status.
    But after comparing their fight purses, WBC president  Mauricio Sulaiman accepted Top Rank’s request for an 80/20 split.
    Sulaiman told BoxingScene: “The consideration for the 80/20 split comes from the purses the fighters have earned in their recent fights.”
    US promoter Bob Arum has revealed if Whyte does not accept the terms, Andy Ruiz Jr, 32, or Robert Helenius, 38, are alternative opponents.
    Ruiz is most commonly remembered for beating Anthony Joshua, 32, in June 2019, but losing the rematch six months later.
    Helenius is on a three-fight win streak, with his last two coming against Adam Kownacki, 32.

    And the Destroyer confirmed it is only a matter of time until he wears his boxing gloves again as his next fight is “coming soon”.
    Ruiz Jr tweeted: “Happy new year, excited to get back in the ring this year. Fight date coming soon.”
    This comes after Fury’s US-based promoter Bob Arum recently confirmed that the Mexican-American could be his client’s next opponent.
    Arum claims the 32-year-old and Robert Helenius are two the “principal” options for the Gypsy King.
    He recently said: “Frank Warren and I are looking for another opponent to do Fury’s fight in Manchester or in Las Vegas, depending on who the opponent is.
    “So we’re looking at Andy Ruiz as a possibility, he’s available.
