George Groves believes Tyson Fury could still pull out of the undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk and claims the WBC will do nothing about it.
Fury and Usyk will finally meet in the ring as part of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
The winner of the highly-anticipated bout will also unify the division for the first time since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in March 1999.
The highly-anticipated bout between Fury and Usyk had been scheduled to take place on February 17 but was postponed after Fury sustained an injury during camp.
The Gypsy King suffered a severe cut above his right eye while sparring, forcing the Saudi Arabian bout to be pushed back until May 18.
However, Groves is concerned Fury could still put out of the bout - claiming the postponement gave him a 'feeling that the fight will never happen'.
