Tyson Fury's trainer has ruled his charge out of fighting Dillian Whyte in a final eliminator.
The heavyweight pair have exchanged social media jibes in recent weeks ahead of a potential clash.
But Ben Davison insists Fury has no interest in fighting Whyte for a shot at Deontay Wilder's WBC world title.
"Dillian Whyte stylistically is not the toughest fight for Tyson, but with that being said, Tyson’s not going to fight a final eliminator – that’s ridiculous," he told the Metro.
"He’s the lineal heavyweight champion of the world and everyone knows he beat Deontay Wilder , the WBC champion of the world. ‘Why would he have to fight a final eliminator? That’s the bad bit of it.

"But, Tyson is chasing fights with Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua and if those fights can’t be made, don’t get it twisted, we’d gladly make that match-up with Dillian Whyte."
Fury is currently preparing for his fight against Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on June 15.
It will be his first bout since his controversial draw with Wilder last December.
The rivals were expected to arrange an immediate rematch but Fury instead chose to face the unknown Schwarz.
Wilder meanwhile knocked out Dominic Breazeale in the first round of their clash on Saturday.
And Fury said: "I would just like to say well done to Deontay Wilder in knocking out Dominic Breazeale," Fury said on Instagram after the fight. "I got that prediction quite correct.
