Frank Warren has commented on the allegations made against him on a not-too-impressive undercard of the fight, where Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) will fight with Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs). The promoter of the "King of the Gypsies" explains that winning the tender for the main duel of the evening significantly reduced its organizational budget.

“We put all our money into the main event, but we still have a good undercard. There are very promising fights there,” says the head of Queensberry Promotions.

“Of course, there are voices of disappointment. We ourselves would like our shows to always be great, but we are limited by the fact that we had a bid of $41 million. If it was 32 million Matchroom, we would have more money on the undercard,” Warren explained.

Regardless of what Fury's promoter claims, more than 90,000 tickets for the London night were sold out before any bids for his warm-up fights were announced.
