“I know Dillian Whyte’s gonna come in prepared and he’s gonna come in rugged and rough and game and aggressive. He’s got a big left hook, a big right, and who knows, it could be me chinned!” he added.

Tyson Fury has been at the top of his game for the past few years. The 33-year-old chased his way to become the WBC heavyweight champion by outclassing Deontay Wilder twice. His last outing with Wilder was one for the ages, wherein both men displayed their A-game against each other.

Tyson Fury was not expected to get hammered, but Wilder dropped him twice in this fight.

But, ‘The Gypsy King’ being himself, he came back from adversities to put extensive pressure on ‘The Bronze Bomber’. Subsequently, he ended up with a KO win in round 11.
