This is due to the 80/20 split in WBC champion Fury’s favour.

Mandatory challenger Whyte is set to secure £6.1m in his first ever world title bout.

And Fury hinted the fight could take place in the UK with a post on his Instagram immediately after the purse bids.

Alongside a smiling snap of him, Fury said: “Big GK is coming home. UK baby.”

Fury has not fought in the UK since he returned to the sport in 2018 following a lengthy lay-off.

The purse bids for a Fury-Whyte clash had been postponed several times as both parties continued negotiations.

But a deal could not be reached and eventually the bid went ahead as Warren came out on top.

And a fight between the two Brits looks set to leave Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk poised for a rematch in the first half of 2022.

There had been discussions about Joshua and Whyte stepping aside to allow an undisputed clash between Fury and Usyk.

But those talks broke down on Thursday as Joshua and Whyte’s promoter Hearn accused Fury of ducking a clash with the Ukrainian.

هو قال: “Anthony Joshua stepped up to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

“Not, ‘Hang on, I’ll just do a few posts on Instagram pretending I wanna fight him.’

“I spoke to Alex Krassyuk [Usyk’s promoter] تعال وتناول الطعام معي أخيرًا تم تعيين الرجل المخفوق لكسب ثروة – they feel that Tyson Fury has bottled the fight vs Usyk.”
