The stage is set for the long-awaited showdown where reigning world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defends his titles against Dillian Whyte. Recently, a video from the press conference showed Whyte not recognizing Fury’s father, former professional boxer John Fury.

Dillian Whyte was being interviewed by a reporter from Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. Whyte was especially talking about his face-off with Fury.

However, Whyte was unaware that the person standing next to him was John Fury. In conversation, the reporter notified Whyte of Fury’s presence. Whyte was taken aback by the reporter’s revelation.

In response, Whyte mentioned that he thought it was radio sports expert Steve Bunce. He exclaimed, “Oh, I thought it was Steve Bunce.”

Fury was not very amused by Whyte’s reply. He diverted the topic to the upcoming bout, by saying, “Listen then, behave like gentlemen out there.“

Further Fury ended his words by saying, “The boys have got history, they would have been gentlemen about it. What more can I say, good luck to both men.”
