“White will be a problem for everyone, including Fury,” says former WBC heavyweight champion Tony Belew.

Duel Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) vs. Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) is scheduled to take place on 23 April at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. But the parties still have to sign the contract no later than February 21. And although both participants are guaranteed a lot of money, White is in no hurry to express his joy, and it is possible that due to the unfavorable division of the total fee of 20 to 80, and despite the large winning amount, he will not agree to a duel.

“No one at heavyweight deserves a shot at the championship like Dillian. He fought former world champions, future world champions, former European champions, took fight after fight, and, of course, no one else deserved such a chance as he did. Usyk is trying his best, but the best in the world right now is Tyson Fury. He is number one, but White will give him, like anyone else, a lot of trouble. He is a big, brave and strong guy who has all the advantages to threaten anyone. Of course, I am not saying that White is better, but I am saying that even in a fight with the best he will make you pay with blood. He won’t get scared, but will constantly attack and attack, ”says Belew, a former cruiserweight champion and successful heavyweight fighter.
