‘Ball’s in their court’ – Frank Warren urges Dillian Whyte to stop ‘bleating and moaning’ and sign Tyson Fury contract

, ‘Ball’s in their court’ – Frank Warren urges Dillian Whyte to stop ‘bleating and moaning’ and sign Tyson Fury contract

DILLIAN WHYTE has been told to sign the contract to fight Tyson Fury and stop ‘bleating and moaning’ by Frank Warren.

The promoter paid a bumper £30.6million to win the purse bid – £24.5m of which will go to the Gypsy King – for the fight.

He will pay the Body Snatcher a career-best £6m plus another £4m if he beats WBC heavyweight champion Fury for the belt.

However, he is still waiting for the mandatory challenger to pen the contract and cannot understand what the delay is.

The Queensberry Promotions chief told The Mirror: “That’s all we want to do, get on with it.

“He’s been bleating and moaning that it’s been 1,000 days – I think it’s more like 1,200 days – that he’s been waiting.

“Well he’s got his shot now and he’s getting a record purse for it, plus that carrot of £4m if he wins, so go for it.

“All the nonsense that’s gone down from Eddie Hearn about the deposit, the deposit has been paid.

“The contract has been approved by the WBC and has been sent to them, so it’s up to Whyte’s people to send it back now. The ball’s in their court, absolutely.”

Warren continued: “There shouldn’t be any issues. We won the purse bid, we’re using the standard WBC contract, both boxers sign it and that should be it. What’s there to negotiate?”

Warren hopes to stage the fight on April 23 and revealed both Wembley and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium are both options.

He added: “We’ve had a few people come to us at the moment, we still haven’t made our mind up what direction we’re going in.

“We’ve had some good offers so we’re looking at that and we’ll make our decision some time next week.”
