Dillian Whyte ‘intends to fight Tyson Fury over rescheduling bout with Otto Wallin’ as he insists it is ‘common sense’ after waiting over 600 days for his title shot
- Dillian Whyte had to withdraw from his fight against Otto Wallin next weekend
- Whyte suffered a shoulder injury while preparing for the bout in Portugal
- Wallin’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, hopes Whyte will recover and reschedule
- But Eddie Hearn insists the 33-year-old is not contractually obligated to do so
Dillian Whyte has said he intends to fight Tyson Fury next after his bout with Otto Wallin was cancelled.
The Body Snatcher was set to meet Wallin in the ring next weekend but Whyte was forced to pull out after picking up a shoulder injury in training.
After Whyte’s WBC ‘interim’ belt defence against Wallin was announced, the WBC ruled that Fury must defend against the ‘interim’ champion next, unless he is able to agree an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk within 30 days.

With Usyk obliged to rematch Anthony Joshua, an undisputed fight is off the table leaving the door open for Whyte to take a shot at Fury.
The Brixton fighter has waited over 600 days for his title shot – he maintains that he must fight Fury next and that the WBC must compel the Gypsy King to face him.
Wallin has now called on an independent doctor to prove Whyte is injured and admitted he was frustrated as he was desperate to step into the ring with the ‘Body Snatcher’.
