Tyson Fury’s Loudmouth Opponent Goes Dead Silent – Reason Revealed

Published 02/05/2022, 6:30 AM EST

Tyson Fury has a knack for going after his opponents in every way he can. Consequently, he’s regarded as the best trash talker in the business, as Fury often manages to get onto his rival’s nerves. These days, Fury is in the news as his fight with Dillian Whyte finally got a purse bid worth $41 million.

That said, the two men will now square off in a few months from now. Throughout the developments of this bout, ‘The Gypsy King’ took wild verbal shots at Whyte. However, ‘The Body Snatcher’ didn’t come up with a counterattack towards Fury.

Recently, Eddie Hearn was in a chat with iFL TV. Here, he revealed why ‘The Body Snatcher’ hasn’t spoken about the fight or Tyson Fury.

“You don’t have to play to the tune, you know. So, Tyson Fury, he wants interaction. He wants goading. He’s goading you. He wants to see a reaction. He wants to get himself fired up in camp. Maybe Dillian Whyte won’t say I think to the fight. Maybe we’ll fight, maybe we won’t.”

“You’ll find out on the night. You know what I mean, you haven’t just got to play people’s tunes. Dillian’s never gonna play anyone’s tunes. I think it’s quite funny,” he said.
