2022 seems an action-packed year for boxing as well as the heavyweight division. Talking about the heavyweight roster, there’s a vital fight aligned between the WBC champ, Tyson Fury, and his compatriot, Dillian Whyte. This contest will take place on April 23 at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Also, this bout will potentially end the prolonged beef between Whyte and Fury, who have a terrific history.

Recently, ‘The Gypsy King’ was involved in a press conference for this fight. Here, he spilled the beans on his history with ‘The Body Snatcher’.

“Actually, I know Dillian Whyte. We go back a long way; we go back to like 2012. He’s a tough guy, he’s a good game fighter and he’ll come in, he’ll bring his, he’ll bring what he can and he will try and chin me, that’s a fact.” said Fury.

Tyson Fury is an amalgamation of a technical as well as an aggressive heavyweight. In his last fight with Deontay Wilder, he showed enough composure, as well as his oppressive fight style to keep fans at the edge of their seats.

Fury will look to do something similar against Whyte, who is yet another biggie in the heavyweight landscape.

Whyte holds extensive power in the bag, and he has every ability to outclass Fury. In fact, Fury and Whyte sparred long ago, and the latter claimed about bashing the former. Keeping that in mind, ‘The Body Snatcher’ will also have immense confidence to outbox Fury in their professional outing.
