Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) doesn't appreciate the ability of his closest opponent too much Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs). The “King of the Gypsies” considers a possible victory over his countryman to be the sixth most important sporting success in his career.
The WBC world heavyweight champion presented the following personal classification of scalps taken in the ring at the moment: Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko, Derek Chisora, Otto Valin, Steve Cunningham.
Fury's fight with White is scheduled to take place on April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London. The fight will be officially announced as soon as the applicant signs the contract sent to him.
“If it was Wembley Stadium, it would be a special moment for me, a very special one,” Fury added. — A lot of time has passed. I was busy conquering America and seizing power there. I've been successful, but now it's time to go home and give the fans a well-deserved fight at home."
“It's been four years since I last fought here, instead I conquered America, won the belt and became a big pay-per-view star. I'm returning to the UK for the first time in a long time and the fans deserve to see me back home."
“The fight with Joshua is completely out of whack at the moment, no one seems to even believe in him anymore. So, Dillian Whyte is my next competitor in this country, so I'm just grateful to have a dance partner on St. George's Day."
“I don't hate Dillian Whyte and he doesn't hate me, I'm going to make him a lot of money, more than he could make in a million lifetimes. He must admire me and I respect him as my mandatory challenger for the WBC world title."
“I think silence is a pity, we are here to discuss and sell one of the biggest fights in the history of British boxing, and he has to play his part,” Fury commented on White’s reluctance to enter into verbal discussions with him on the eve of the fight.
“They keep talking about money and percentages, but this little shit is getting eight times what I got when I beat Wladimir Klitschko – and I was 20 times as popular as him in that fight. I was undefeated, a mandatory challenger for both the WBO and WBA, and won three tryouts."
“This sucker did nothing but miss the beard from a 45-year-old, and now he gets eight times more than me. For him, it's winning the lottery. He would be very wise to take his money before he loses it," Fury added.
