Ricky Hatton has no doubts about the tactics that Dillian Whyte (29-2, 18 KOs) should use against WBC champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs). "I think he should go for a knockout!" - said the famous Hitman in an interview with talkSPORT.
"Let's be clear - he can't outbox Fury, he can't beat him with speed, and Tyson is very versatile for such a giant," Hatton said. - In the last fight with Wilder, he showed that he can hit well from an average distance. He can box in reverse and normal stance, he can fight at a distance, he has excellent defense.”
“So why did White think he could beat Fury? It's impossible. He has to come out and look for the knockout, his only strong punch. Tyson has been on the floor several times already and Dillian knows he can knock him down and win,” added the legendary boxer from Manchester, noting that, in his opinion, the King of the Gypsies on April 23 will work more carefully in defense than in third fight with Wilder.
“I think we will see a bit of the old Tyson Fury. Boxing from a distance, he will try to break White first to prevent him from landing his punch, and will move a lot,” added Hatton.
