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.
Notably, the renowned promoter Eddie Hearn and Tyson Fury are long-time rivals. However, the rift between the two widened when the promoter could not seal the deal of his star British fighter, Anthony Joshua, with the reigning champion. Since then, both openly come up taking digs at each other.

What did Tyson Fury said about Dillian Whyte and Eddie Hearn?
Talking about the monumental event on 23 April, in the dressing room of Wembley stadium, Tyson Fury elaborated how ‘The Body Snatcher’ is being used by Eddie Hearn.
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.”
At the end, Tyson Fury is of the opinion that money does not matter when it comes to World title and legacy.
