“Hi. It’s Tyson Fury: AKA, the Gypsy King.” So began a social media post from Tyson Fury that was released on Tuesday, about 24 hours after Dillian Whyte signed him on “I’m going to be completely off social media for the next eight and a half weeks,” said Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world. respect in the world that he needs. I will train him like he is Muhammad and I am Bruce for this camp.”
Of course, this is the classic Fury. Until recently, he mocked longtime candidate Whyte. However, at the moment, he considers this man to be a serious opponent. “I will never underestimate anyone in my life,” Fury continued, “and I will give this man all the respect he deserves, being the challenger. WBC heavyweight is ranked number one in the world today.” The British player then continued to ask the press as well as the public to respect his privacy. “Please don’t call me, call me, email me, text me or try to contact me in any way as I’m off-limits until May,” he said.
“Please,” he added at the end, “appreciate my privacy and space.”
While Fury is said to enjoy antagonizing the media – as well as, perhaps, his opponents – there is little question that Whyte, as the No. of the WBC, should be taken seriously. Fury’s compatriot Brit has only lost twice, finally, once to Anthony Joshua and once to longtime rival Alexander Povetkin. Needless to say, Whyte made an impressive comeback to beat Povetkin in their rematch last year, thereby placing themselves in the WBC ranks and linear crown. Whyte also overcame famous heavyweights like Dereck Chisora, Joseph Parker and the aforementioned Povetkin.
While not considered a super fight, the Fury-Whyte showdown is sure to attract interest, especially in the UK, where the two men reside. Undoubtedly, the bout will take place at London’s Wembley Stadium on April 23. It will be Fury’s first bout in his hometown since 2018. Whyte fought at home recently. a lot more, but this isn’t the biggest match of his career, a match he will almost certainly enter as the underdog. However, Fury said in his social media post that he had no intention of taking Whyte lightly. Without a doubt, Whyte will also take the matter seriously.
