Ahead of the mega-event at the Wembley Stadium in London, the dispute between the reigning heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and WBC interim champion Dillian Whyte has reached so much that the challenger backed from attending the major press conference held in March.

Subsequent to the press conference, ‘The Gypsy King’ took a brief tour of the arena. But ‘The Body Snatcher’s absence remained the highlight of the event. However, the greatest technician was alone enough to set the rhythm of the press conference.

Prior to the upcoming British blockbuster, ‘The Gypsy king’ warned the challenger. According to him, Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn is the main reason for why the latter missed the press conference for this historic event. He is the one who is pulling strings in Whyte‘s ear, as per Fury.

He said, “Where were you at for the press conferences? Oh, don’t know I wasn’t there. Then he loses right. Where were you, dad? Well, my promoter told me to go, he promote who’s that we don’t know him because he doesn’t call us and he hasn’t put a phone call in for 10 years and we hate each other and he owes me money so this promoter who is advising him right now won’t even be speaking to him in 10 years so this was his own legacy thing and it’s worth more than money. I don’t know about how you felt about winning the world title.”
