WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder not pleased (to put it mildly) with an offer he received to fight UK heavyweight Dillian Whyte.
The American reigning WBC title holder was recently involved in an alleged offence outside the ring that is currently seeing him scramble at the moment.
In the ring he is still on the lookout for a new opponent.
That opponent, whoever it might be, will need to be a good one in most fight fans’ eyes – whether it be another champion or someone of note in the division.

Dillian Whyte is certainly a handful for any heavyweight in the world when he’s on.
A massive puncher with the heart of a lion, he represents a lot of risk for someone like Wilder unless there were a lot of money on the line.
Everyone’s interpretation of a lot of money is different of course, but Deontay Wilder is not happy with what Wilder’s promoter has tabled thus far.
He lashed out on Instagram by saying:
£3 million in UK money which equates to about $3.75 million dollars US in Deontay’s currency is not a bad pay day one would have thought.
But the terms in the contract as he refers to above are not clear and there could be a number of things in the offer going against him unbeknown to the public.
The fight itself appears to be one Wilder is interesting in though – as he’s followed up the above verbal assault with another one at Whyte by saying:
You can even see his attempt at the British slang in his curse words there. Whyte has had the following reply on his Twitter account:
Clearly @BronzeBomber has gone from Puff to Crack & lost his arsehole when u find your balls call @EddieHearn #Pussy #Crackhead pic.twitter.com/1h71BCnyUV
