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.
