Dillian Whyte doesn’t care about this week’s fight build or wits with Tyson Fury, he just wants violence.
‘The Body Snatcher’ spoke to journalist Steve Bunce in a nearly 30-minute interview for BT Sport and appeared happy and contented while in Portugal, where he is gearing up for the biggest battle of his career. mine.
At one stage, it seemed like Saturday’s WBC heavyweight title match at Wembley Stadium might not happen due to contract issues and ongoing disputes. Whyte’s silence until last week was also a cause for concern, and his absence at the launch press conference angered Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren.
Whyte said: “I don’t regret anything.
“I am a professional. I’m a top guy. This is not The Tyson Fury Show. This is the show The Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte. And from where I was standing there was a performance by Dillian Whyte and Tyson Fury.
“You can’t buy a performance car and not put high performance fuel in it and that’s what they’re trying to do. They won the war (at the expense of their wallet) and they are trying to treat me like nothing. They don’t want to pay anything, they don’t want to take care of everything properly. ‘We won the war where you have to do what we say’. I don’t need to do what you say. I am my own person. I do what I want to do and unless you want to play football and do things the right way and sit down with my team and work things out… even today (at the time of the interview), a minute ago they were trying to try to solve everything. ”
Whyte tells of his colorful past, where he sometimes had no food, had to eat out of crates and, in his words, ‘left to die’. Being shot, stabbed, becoming a father at the age of 13 and constantly ‘diving away’ are all part of the remarkable story that has brought him to where he is now. What you see is what you get with Dillian Whyte. He did exactly what it said on the tin, and he had very little time for whatever Tyson Fury had to say about him.
“Tyson Fury says a lot of nonsense. Its mouth is like a toilet bowl, it just flushes and flushes and flushes. That’s Tyson Fury. He just spits whatever random crap comes out of his mouth. I don’t really care what he says or does. We will go in there and fight in spite of it. I’m not interested in mind games. He can’t get into my head; he thought in my head that he would find a lot of disturbance in it. “
As for the fight itself, a lot will be done in terms of Fury’s height and weight advantage on the night of the fight. 6 feet 9.5 inches taller than Whyte, and since back in 2018, ‘The Gypsy King’ has fought seven times with an average weight of 265lbs. During that time Whyte also fought seven times and was only 10 lbs below the Fury average.
“Physically, I’m probably one of the strongest boxers to ever live,” said the challenger.
“I am not one to say these things or talk lightly about these things. He’s a big man, he’s taller than me, he’s this and that. Tyson Fury is not the strongest physically. I know that from around. Look how long it took to finish Wilder. Wilder breathed out of his ass after three rounds. “
“But you know this fight is tough,” Steve Bunce said.
“I’m not under any illusions,” Whyte replied. “We have been working. I feel good, I feel happy. I just want the violence to begin. I am calm, I am calm, but inside there is only rage and violence. It kept bouncing around in my head. “
With an extended training session (ongoing at time of publication), press conference and weighing still held, no one knows what Whyte or Fury will do this week, providing unpredictability for both. The bookmaker told Bunce he was looking forward to putting on some weight and then relaxing in his hotel. He has certainly given no indication that he will attend the first two events of the fight week. Bunce then asked Whyte if he wanted to take on the champion a few days after the match.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, I’m a professional. A soldier goes to war and does what he needs to do. He turns up, he picks up his gun, he gets his orders, he goes out and executes. If he comes back, he comes back. If he doesn’t come back, he won’t come back. That was my thought. A lion doesn’t hunt because it’s hungry, a lion hunts because that’s what it knows to do. ”
