Tyson Fury has promised to put on a real show against Dillian Whyte at Wembley after weighing-in 11lb lighter than his last fight in October.
“But I’m ready to go to war.” “He’s strong, hydrated and ready to go. We’re ready to have a fight.” “People are going to be enjoying this fight because we are putting it all on the line. It’s going to be a war. We are going to put a show on.
Fury (31-0-1, 22KOs) weighs in at 264.8lbs ahead of Saturdays huge clash at Wembley Stadium in front of over 94000 spectators against WBCs mandatory ...
He's going to do what he does best and entertain us." "The prediction is it's going to be a great fight. "The weigh-in, the nerves sort of go away for me. Tyson has so many people here and he's probably not a grumpy. All the talk and everything is over. I'm not worried about what he's doing."
Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion from Great Britain, enters what could be his last fight facing uncomfortable questions.
On Zoom, Fury doesn’t look as round as he’s letting on; he’s been working with a nutritionist in training camp, eating healthy doses of fish and rice and vegetables to fuel up for the fight. “We were told that the guy who is making arrangements for us to be involved wanted a consulting fee for every one of Tyson Fury’s fights,” says Arum. “So we entered a deal with a company controlled by Kinahan and paid a fee for every one of Fury’s fights we promoted, in accordance with the contract.” The real people of the world.” He believes that to be the truth. Plus, if he wins, a megabout with the winner of a likely Joshua-Oleksandr Usyk rematch could be too lucrative to turn down. By the time it gets to normal fight time, you’ll be well oiled up and ready to rock and roll.” MTK Global has said that Kinahan ceased involvement with the company in 2017, the year that Fury signed on with MTK Global. In 2020, Fury praised Kinahan for helping broker a fight with Anthony Joshua, another British heavyweight. “The Kinahan Organized Crime Group (KOCG) smuggles deadly narcotics, including cocaine, to Europe, and is a threat to the entire licit economy through its role in international money laundering,” Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson said in a statement. “The king must retire on top of the world,” Fury, 33, tells TIME in a Zoom conversation from London. “I’ve won every belt there is to win in the game. “I want it to be a final decision,” Fury says. Fury’s leaving the door slightly open for a return to the ring. “The best thing anyone who’s suffering mental health problems can do is seek medical advice immediately,” says Fury. “The sooner you get medical help, the quicker you can return to being well again.
Even before Saturday's fight at Wembley Stadium in London, the undefeated heavyweight champion was pestered with disruptions.
In October, Fury survived a pair of knockdowns to stop Wilder in the 11th round of their third bout. Fury has not spoken nearly that explicitly about his relationship with Kinahan, whose ties to pro boxing are both obvious and opaque. “They’re going to see a good tear-up,” said Fury, 33, who weighed in at 264 pounds. He can be the tactical boxer who first claimed a world title with a cautious decision over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. He has scored 19 knockouts in his 28 wins and has defeated a series of first- and second-tier heavyweight contenders. Fury was repeatedly asked about his relationship with Kinahan at a press event this week but declined to elaborate.
Fury is the overwhelming favourite to successfully defend his WBC heavyweight belt against Whyte on Saturday night.
“The only real loss he has, on my estimations, was against Anthony Joshua in a fight which he had no right hand, he had a big operation after the fight. “I think people are really underestimating Whyte and there’s a reason why he’s not got his shot for as long as he has. I wouldn’t advise anyone to ever do that but it seems that is just the character he is.” “Tyson will take the fight as it comes, he just seems to adapt to every problem that he faces. “Whyte is facing a tricky task because he won’t ever really know what Tyson is going to come out with. No stranger to being written off, his credentials were hit badly by his knockout defeat to Alexander Povetkin in 2020, and for some they never recovered even when he successfully avenged that loss against the ageing Russian.

- Tyson Fury vs. Regis Prograis: I have Tyson Fury. Why? Because Tyson Fury is for me the best heavyweight in the world right now. He stops Dillian Whyte (in) under ten rounds. But he loses against champions, especially gold medalists like (Alexander) Povetkin and Anthony Joshua. I think Tyson Fury is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. But I see Dillian Whyte gas(sing) out, and I believe that as soon as he gas(ses) out and Tyson Fury smells blood, I believe he’ll go for it, and he’ll be able to handle Dillian Whyte properly. He'd lost the belt to Alexander Povetkin via fifth-round stoppage in August 2020 to snap his 11-fight winning streak.
The Sporting News has you covered when it comes to when Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte will make their way to the ring.
The Fury vs. Tyson Fury vs. Fury vs. Fury vs. Whyte main card will air on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Dillian Whyte will take place Saturday, April 23. The winner of this Saturday’s fight could be on a path to a heavyweight unification fight. He won the interim WBC heavyweight title in 2019 against Oscar Rivas but was later suspended and stripped of the belt after a drug test before being reinstated. After fighting Deontay Wilder to a draw, he beat Wilder in a rematch in February 2020 for the WBC title. “The Body Snatcher” lost the belt in August 2020 in dramatic fashion against Alexander Povetkin. Whyte won the title back in March via TKO in what was the final fight of Povetkin’s career. After years of waiting, Dillian Whyte is finally getting his shot at the WBC heavyweight champion. Tyson Fury is more than ready for the challenge.
Four years in the making, Whyte finally gets a shot at Fury but few are backing him against the WBC heavyweight champion of the world.
You could go to the cemetery, dig somebody up and that somebody could beat Tyson Fury, according to David Haye. I don’t care if you’re big, small, if you have things to say that are stupidity, I’m going to pull you on them. Fury says he will “go out with a bang” and then “sit back and enjoy life”. Not someone who has come from a boxing family, or someone who has gone to the Olympics and been in the Olympic bubble. You could pick someone out of Darby and Joan to box Tyson and he’d say these people can beat him. He is currently petitioning BT Sport to have him removed. “Like Tyson said, we didn’t expect to be here – me especially,” says Whyte. “But I’m ready to go. John Fury adds: “He doesn’t pose any threat, we don’t see him as a threat. He has been shot, stabbed and once recalled how he had picked a bullet out of his body with a pair of pliers. While the Furys are a dynasty, Whyte stresses he is a one-man band. I’m ready to rock and roll.” “I am a guy who as a kid, had no future, no education, no family.
Both British heavyweights are in confident mood after a tumultuous buildup to their epic Wembley showdown.
In August 2020, in the midst of lockdown, he fought the old Russian warhorse Alexander Povetkin. The acute loneliness of heavyweight boxing engulfed Whyte after he was knocked out in the fifth round by a sickening uppercut. For all the enduring unpredictability of some heavyweight contests, and the volatile lives of both men, Fury should win again. He fathered a child at the age of 13 and his life has often been tumultuous. Obviously the crowd does play a part and there are going to be 94,000 people there. It says much about Whyte’s nerve, and the fearlessness which Fury recognises, that he demanded a rematch. If it’s written in the stars that I win again, we will have a drink after the fight to a very successful night and career. Fury has had an often difficult fight week and there were occasions when he has been riled by persistent questions about his past working relationship with Daniel Kinahan, the alleged leader of a drug cartel. He remains unbeaten after those 32 fights and Fury really believes he is the best heavyweight in the world by some distance, “I know he thinks he’s the six foot nine inch version of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Mike Tyson rolled into one,” Whyte said, “but he’s only a man. I will be leaving every ounce of strength and energy I have in the ring. I’ve sparred him a lot in the past and he didn’t show any weaknesses. A couple of days later, in the shadow of the huge arena where Fury will defend his WBC title against his British challenger, the world champion and undoubted favourite was just as blunt and respectful. He will receive 20% of the record $41,025,000 fight purse.

He told talkSPORT. "Tyson you know for a fact, he's as mad as a box of frogs.

On the eve of his heavyweight title defense, Tyson Fury downplayed any ties to accused Irish drug-cartel leader Daniel Kinahan.
I’m a boxing man and I’ve got a fight to think about, and that’s enough said." "What Bob Arum does with his own money is his own business, it’s not my concern. We have to listen to the government. I don’t want to get into trouble with the U.S. government. When reporters pressed him about his ties to Kinahan, who is now based in Dubai, Fury said: "None of your business. You can’t detail a powerful tale of personal recovery and then fail to disavow an accused drug lord. Asked pointedly if he’d sever all ties with Kinahan, Fury paused and said, "What the U.S. have said, the U.S. have said. And I don’t do anything except box." What a man does with his own business, I don’t care. I don’t care. It’s been a great journey." "It’s none of my concern and none of my interest at all," Fury said to SkySports. "It has nothing to do with me.

This is a favourable match-up for Fury, and one in which he'll hope to impress. He brutalised Jaroslav Hriadel in his debut, and Michael Conlan's protege will want another exciting win this time around. It'll be a tough test for the Brit, with Bocianski the most impressive opponent he has faced on paper. He broke his rib back in December, and had to pull out of what was about to be his biggest career bout against Jake Paul. For David Adeleye, the goal is very similar to Tommy Fury; get another win on the big stage. That will make this one tricky for Adeleye, but expect him to go 9-0 here.

The WBC heavyweight title is on the line from Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night.
And if his public workout this week was any indication, in which he worked out from southpaw for the entirety, it's likely "The Gypsy King" has a few wrinkles up his sleeve to keep Whyte guessing. In the end, Whyte pushes the pace consistently enough to where it's either him or you that gets stopped. In many ways, Fury's third fight against Wilder last fall was the perfect prerequisite for the challenge Whyte brings to the table. Instead, the 34-year-old Whyte is expected to bring a sturdy challenge to the 6-foot-9 Fury thanks to his 6-foot-4 frame, durability and punching power. I've had a couple slipups along the way, but I'm here and I'm ready to go. Because of that, Fury will need to properly mix his two styles as both boxer and puncher. Given Fury's pre-fight comments, it's an inevitability he appears to accept, which is why his predictions have consistently been a knockout. The fans are in for a real treat," Fury said.
