‘Just a heavyweight who can punch’: Tommy Fury delivers withering verdict on Dillian Whyte

Tommy Fury, half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson

Tommy Fury has labelled Dillian Whyte as “just a heavyweight who can punch” and maintains he “hasn’t got a prayer” ahead of his heavyweight clash with Tyson Fury.  

Tyson will make his UK return after four years against WBC mandatory challenger Whyte this Saturday in front of 94,000 at Wembley Stadium.

Tommy, who has been training with Tyson and fights on his half-brother’s undercard, told SunSport: “For me, this fight is a nice homecoming for Tyson, I don’t see it going past six rounds.

“I feel like Tyson is just a cut above this man, Dillian Whyte is no Deontay Wilder in my book, he’s going to try and he’s going to come and give it his best shot.

“But I just don’t think his best shot is good enough. Especially if Tyson comes into this fight how he’s been doing it in the gym, Dillian Whyte hasn’t got a prayer.” 

Fury, 33, faces his first British opponent since 2014 when he stopped Derek Chisora, 38, in 10 rounds of their rematch. In three of his last five fights, Fury took on Wilder, drawing with the American in their first meeting in 2018 before stopping him in 2020 and last October.
