He called out Whyte recently to fight in an eliminator but has since dismissed him and said he has no interest in fighting him. That would be a good fight.
It seems that Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder already have some sort of agreement in place to compete against each other during the first quarter of 2020, with both engaging in an interim bout beforehand.
It doesn’t make any sense for Fury to risk the Wilder payday by engaging in a WBC title eliminator against Dillian Whyte, since ‘The Gypsy King’ is already guaranteed his shot against ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
That being said, I agree with you, a Fury-Whyte fight would be good to watch, but there are no compelling business reasons for them to face each other anytime soon.

Kownacki maybe? Another 0 record and overrated?

Adam Kownacki will probably be reserved for his fellow PBC stablemate, Deontay Wilder.
Eddie Hearn foolishly allowed an Al Haymon fighter, Andy Ruiz Jr., the opportunity to take Anthony Joshua’s WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO titles from DAZN’s control.
Haymon controls the WBC title via his affiliation with Deontay Wilder.
And if Kownacki miraculously emulates Ruiz Jr’s feat, by upsetting ESPN/Top Rank’s Tyson Fury (if they ever did fight), then this would mean that Haymon/PBC would take ownership of the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and the mythical lineal titles.
I'm not so sure that Bob Arum is willing to risk devaluing Tyson Fury's worth unless it's for a super-fight that generates tonnes of money.

Fair point ol' bean... so it has to be standard bout with a Pulev or a Povetkin type.

What is Wilt Chamberlain doing these days?
If he isn't picking up his phone, they should give Joseph Parker or Dillian Whyte a call.
It needs to be someone credible, not currently holding a trinket and that can actually fight.
