Dillian Whyte Claims Credit for Building Up Tyson Fury Early in Career

“His uncle Peter Fury is a very smart man,” Whyte told BT Sport. “He’s a very smart, intelligent man. He knew to build Tyson up to that level he needed good strong guys, resilient guys, tough guys, who didn’t care where they was, to push him. I was one of those guys, Eddie Chambers was one of those guys that they brought in to help him.”

“I spent a long time with him in Manchester…we spent a lot of time there, to Belgium, and we did them (training camps) in other places,” Whyte said. “Yeah, we spent a lot of time with each other. We knew each other quite well. I was cool with the guy. I never had no beef with him.

“Then all of a sudden – you know what Tyson’s like. He just starts going on, starts screaming, which I don’t understand. You’re a giant. You don’t need to go around shouting and screaming. You’re a big guy. Just be yourself. But he likes shouting and screaming. Him and his dad. I don’t get why.”

I'm looking forward to the fight on Saturday. I'd expect a mid to late round Fury stoppage perhaps after a couple of hairy moments in the first 3 rounds as Whyte will try and put it on Fury early I think as he'll know there is no way he can outbox him.

It's just very difficult to see how Whyte can win the fight barring an absolute hail mary punch from the gods.

Fury is buying money at 1/5 and the stoppage at 8/11 looks tempting.

Glad to see Whyte getting a payday as well to be fair. I'm not his biggest fan but he's game and has certainly earned his shot rather than been gifted it.

I agree the promotion has been odd. Mainly because Whyte has refused to take part in any of it and Fury hasn't done much either. Perhaps they need a bit of argy bargy at today's press conference to spice it up a bit!

I don’t think it’s really that much of a slam dunk. I can’t really get my head around that Fury did the majority of his training in Morecambe. I live in the area and it just seems completely mental to consider that a suitable place to prepare for a world heavyweight title?! I think he’s in cruise mode and if Whyte turns up on the scales looking like he’s been training in beast mode for months, I think those odds will finally start to shift.

As long as he hasn't been getting distracted and cutting corners then I don't think it really matters where he has been training as he has his own gym there I think and can do his runs and other preparation. It'd be different if he can barely walk down the street without being mobbed and was popping into see his family every day and stuff. I can't believe he would come into this unprepared.

Can you point a few mates of mine in the direction of tickets. They'll pay double?

There you go mate. Is it just a few you need? Or a few thousand? They have them in every section in abundance.

For what it’s worth I hope Dillian after his childish non promotion of this fight gets bumped by Warren and I honestly think he will.

[gregregegg]

Has Fury really looked unbeatable latly? Since his return after klit he has had a scare with Wallin who is mabey euro levle in my eyes. And how many times did he get dropped in the wilder trillogy? 4? ... knockouts are a funny thing, if your getting hit hard enough to go down, every now and then you take a nap...

Fury is a strong favourite as he should be, but his unbeatable aura is just bizarre.

Its like people combine all the best parts of Fury, But big strong Fury isnt a slick backfoot master, and light agile fury isnt a front foot bulldoser. middle size fury is good at both probably, but not as good at either as when he is built for it. I dont know what fury will turn up, But both have been caught clean too many times to be considered unbeatable.

Tyson seems quite stressed at the moment. Doesn’t seem anywhere near as relaxed as he has been for his last few fights.

[DrDuke]

Get your popcorn, the presser is starting.

[jimmystone]

Dillian is in the house.

[maverick23]

It’s been confirmed that Romero didn’t get his visa through to fight Cacace so the fight is off the bill.

The Essuman/Tetley fight that was headlining a BT show next week has been brought forward and is now chief support.

I dunno, he seemed pretty stressed ahead of Wilder III (with good reason, it turned out). I can only think this is Kinahan-related

Which ones aren't resale or platinum? Just a normal, face value, ticket?

They don’t want to pay double?

[unknownman79]

Frank going to give everyone covid.

[dookus]

Respectful so far. They both seem a bit nervous.

[tony1234]

Seemed very low key, no bitching or anything

[tony1234]

John Fury doing his best to liven it up but the face off ends in a handshake

[unknownman79]

whyte looked very nervous.

[jimmystone]

John Fury and Dean Whyte both wanting to be front and centre. Pair of clowns.

[DrDuke]

An awful conference. Too much of respect, crooked sound. Those mofos should have taken away the background squeak instead of showing the video with delay and muting bad words. The 'slept together' story was fun though.

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

Quite refreshing and respectful between the 2. I think there's some friendship and mutual respect from their time together. If anything the boxers had to settle their entourage down. Fury doesn't look that much taller than Whyte than I expected

I'm hyped for the fight now, Whyte won't be as much out of range as I thought. Could be a real barnstormer.

[jimmystone]

"John Fury is an idiot. A real idiot" - Dillian Whyte

Never a truer set of words spoken.

[maverick23]

I actually thought Dillian seemed relaxed compared to some press conferences where he’s been ready to fight there and then.

Tyson still seems stressed. He was flipping his middle finger at someone as he was leaving so not sure what that was about.

Very low key compared to what I was expecting.

[DrDuke]

Big John tried to save this conference as much as possible.
