Tyson Fury held an open training session on the eve of the match against Dillian Whyte, to which White himself did not want to appear. Just a few days ago White (28-2, 19 KOs) claimed he was a pro and would change his approach to promoting the fight with Tyson Fury (28-2, 19 KOs), he did not show up for today's media practice.
Fury and White's press conference is scheduled for tomorrow, but it is not yet known whether the Gypsy King's rival will be present.
White, who is scheduled to fight Fury for the WBC heavyweight belt this coming Saturday, has not been involved in any pre-fight press events in the past few weeks. Previously, he did not come to the press conference announcing the fight.
Fury did not care too much about the absence of his rival and stated the following: “This is Dillian’s concern, it does not concern me. I think he has a reason why he didn't show up today. Be that as it may, I wish him good luck and see you on the day of the fight."
The evening's promoter Frank Warren also commented on the absence of the Body Snatcher: "They had to fulfill their contractual obligations. We had several long conversations via Zoom and I also spoke with Dillian in person. We are doing our best to have a great night of boxing,” said the head of Queensberry Promotions, and when asked if White would come to tomorrow's press conference, he replied: “I hope.”
