Dillian Whyte shocked the boxing fans with his absence from the recent media presser for the WBC title fight against world champion Tyson Fury. While ‘The Gypsy King’ delivered an entertaining interaction, Whyte was nowhere found. It evoked Tyson Fury and his promoter, Frank Warren, to lash out at ‘The Body Snatcher’ on several occasions.
Meanwhile, Warren also accused Whyte of making uncanny demands for coming down to the presser. After a brief media interaction, the Queensberry kingpin connected with Seconds Out and revealed the demands that came from Dillian Whyte’s end. Warren also compared how Whyte has acted differently than all other heavyweight contenders.

He said, “They [Professionals] don’t try and renegotiate something you have won a purse bid. They don’t say we want a private jet to take us here and home. But we agreed to do that. We said, we should do that in writing. They don’t say, you can’t use my image, my photograph on a poster.”
Frank Warren continued, “We don’t treat people bad. I have never heard a fighter asking me to come in on a private jet and fly out again before. I mean it’s just. You know it’s outrageous.”
Since the build-up of the fight, Tyson Fury has verbally assaulted his nemesis, Dillian Whyte. However, Whyte hasn’t responded to it. While the recent press conference could have generated a response from ‘The Body Snatcher’, his absence curbed all the possibilities of it.
