Not just that, but Fury, in the entire press conference, kept taking shots at the Matchroom boss and Whyte.

In a statement later, he added, “People don’t remember who the promoter was. People don’t remember who managed the fighters of the night. People remember the fight if it was a good one and where it was.”

Fury and Whyte‘s collision seemed a bit off track initially as ‘The Gypsy King’ also looked to explore an undisputed fight alongside the unified champ, Oleksandr Usyk. But after much rigmarole and delays, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, won the purse bids for Whyte vs Fury and this contest got set for April 23.
