Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn believes Dillan Whyte should become the WBC heavyweight champion if there's "an issue" with Tyson Fury.
It follows fresh allegations that claim a member of Fury's team paid a farmer £25,000 for a signed testimony when he failed a drug test in 2015 because he ate contaminated wild boar.
"As I understand, it's going to be looked into by UKAD," Hearn told Sky Sports.
"I guess the truth will come out in the wash. As I understand it, the key witness in the case has come out and effectively changed his statements of what happened.
"I'll let them deal with that. If I'm Dillian Whyte right now, I'm looking at that situation, knowing that if there is an issue with Tyson Fury as world champion, I become the WBC heavyweight world champion, because right now, he was suspended while an investigation was taking place. "It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out."
Fury's promoter Frank Warren insists that the famer's claims are "outrageous" and that claims he tried to extort money:
"The farmer making these outrageous allegations sent me a letter last October, full of errors and basically telling me he had committed perjury by signing statements under oath and lying.
"When I called him, he asked for money. I told him to clear off and get in contact with UKAD. He chose not to speak to UKAD but instead speak to a newspaper.
"How anybody can take this man seriously is beyond belief. Tyson has never met this man in his life. What a load of rubbish. We'll leave this with UKAD to look into and don't expect it to go any further."
