“It’s a Little Bit of a Head F*** for Tyson Fury”: Promoter Explains Dillian Whyte’s Bizarre Behavior

WBC champion Tyson Fury is constantly threatening Dillian Whyte about offering him a horrific outcome whenever they meet inside the ring. The high-voltage heavyweight scrap is close to being finalized and Fury has already got in his character, trying to get underneath Whyte’s skin with brutal trash talkings.

Surprisingly, Dillian Whyte hasn’t offered a similar approach and has silenced himself from the ongoing banters. Despite Tyson Fury’s frequent instigations, Whyte hasn’t responded or demeaned ‘The Gypsy King.’ It may appear strange to several people, who are familiar with heated build-ups of a heavyweight title fight.

That said, Whyte is truly offering a unique behavior ahead of the biggest bout of his career. Whyte’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, connected with Fight HUB TV and detailed why ‘The Body Snatcher’ is not entering the war of words.

He said, “You know what it is, it’s like funny. Why are you guys screaming and shouting on social? It’s like we haven’t got to play to their tune maybe it’s a little bit of a head f*** for Tyson Fury because he is out there.”

“Tyson likes to be in control. So he wants to go to you, get you talking back. Dillian [Whyte] is just like ‘huh’. Look Dillian has been waiting for a long time for that fight. Don’t mistake silence for he is not interested in the fight, Of course, he is. We are waiting for the contract actually.”

Having knocked out Alexander Povetkin in 2021, Whyte is now on the verge of bagging a big payday, and a potential victory can turn him into a world champion. Thus, he may have decided to speak through action instead of words.

Tyson Fury vs, Dillian Whyte is still not official

Although Frank Warren has put on a splendid $41 million purse bid to secure the WBC title fight between Whyte and Fury, neither side has officially signed the papers. Now, heavyweight boxing is not new to surprises and last-minute changes. Thus, it can be still early to picture an immediate clash between ‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Body Snatcher’.

But Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte make sense for each other. Having held the WBC Interim title for months, Whyte is a mandatory contender to Tyson Fury. Meanwhile, the classic contest can help to craft a road towards an undisputed title fight in the division. Hence, there are not enough reasons that can see the matchup fall off from this particular stage.
