Kubrat Pulev has launched an attack on Dillian Whyte and Eddie Hearn after the surprise announcement that the British fighter had agreed to fight Joseph Parker.
Pulev (25-1, 13KOs) had been ordered to fight in a final eliminator with Whyte for the right to be the mandatory challenger for the IBF title. However, after the fight went to purse bid - which Whyte's promoter Hearn lost - negotiations failed to advance.
Whyte has repeatedly said that he would fight anyone in the division, but Pulev has now accused him of doing everything possible to avoid fighting him.
"I was expecting from Dillian Whyte and his team to run away from the fight, but I didn't expect from them to be such bull**** artists," Pulev said in a statement.
"They are extreme manipulators and plain schizophrenics. I can't believe what I'm hearing and what a tricky way they chose to run away from the fight in Bulgaria.
"The whole time Hearn kept talking in circles about negotiations and how they are still trying to bring me to UK. All this while a date and a place was already announced by the winner of the bid -- us."
Pulev had been due to fight Anthony Joshua in an IBF mandatory back in October before pulling out with injury 12 days before the fight. He had been hoping to get another shot at the world titles by beating Whyte in a fight that was planned to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"We won the IBF purse bid rights with almost double the money they offered. Nobody wants to fight Dilian? YOU ARE DELUSIONAL MAN! First of all I never refused and I still want to fight with you! DILLIAN, if Hearn is misleading you somehow, let me tell you personally- I am still waiting for you in Bulgaria to help you get out of the delusion and bring you back to earth!
Whyte refused to dwell on the situation with Pulev, telling ESPN: "I let Eddie deal with all that. He's the one that deals with the route. He puts the pins up and I knock them down."
