WBC heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is suing the World Boxing Committee for failing to schedule his mandatory title fight against current champion Tyson Fury.
Whyte booked a shot at the WBC crown with a unanimous decision win over Oscar Rivas last July.
Fury's dominant win over the American had put a brake on those plans, with Wilder now due for a rematch against Fury.
Whyte's promoter, Eddie Hearn, still wants Whyte to fight the winner of Fury and Wilder third fight.
Hearn told Sky Sports UK that Whyte deserves his title shot and potentially position himself to unify the division against Joshua in 2021.
He adds that Whyte should be getting his shot at the world title and that is important to them.
