TYSON FURY was spotted out and about in Manchester in his ‘Gypsy King’ branded gear after finally agreeing his next opponent.
The WBC heavyweight king will fight fellow Brit Dillian Whyte after a historic undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk collapsed at the 11th hour.
Fury seemed relaxed as he walked the streets in the North-West, wearing a tracksuit bearing his famous nickname, topped with a grey beanie hat.
Queensbury Promotions chief Frank Warren won the purse bid for the Battle of Britain on Friday with a whopping £30.6million offer.
And the veteran promoter – along with partner in crime Bob Arum – has pencilled April 23 as the date for the former sparring partners’ domestic dust-up.
A stadium show in the UK is the current plan, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium the most likely venue as it has a retractable roof.
SunSport, however, understands other venues are also in consideration to host the bout.
WBC king Fury will take a whopping 80 PER CENT of the purse, with mandatory challenger Whyte pocketing a meagre 20 per cent.

That means the already mega-rich Gypsy King will bank a whopping £24.5million while Whyte will pocket a guaranteed £6.1m.
It leaves big rival Anthony Joshua to thrash out terms for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk after losing all his belts to the Ukrainian last year.
Fan favourite Fury, 33, is relishing the opportunity to get his hands on Whyte and has vowed to annihilate his former training partner.
After confirmation of Warren winning the purse bid, Fury said: “Very happy, guys.
“Purse bids! Big GK (Gypsy King) is coming home.
“Coming home! I’m coming home! I cannot wait. Me and Dillian are gonna put it on the line.”
He added: “I’m coming home baby.
“Get ready for the biggest British dust-up since Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno. History in the making.”
