For the uninitiated, ahead of trading leather in the arena, the duo is indulged in making cutting remarks on each other.

However, it seems that ‘The Body Snatcher’ is not as active as ‘The Gypsy King’, though he has responded to the latter earlier. Interestingly, according to the 33-year-old legend, Whyte is no more active in responding or giving fake names to him because he has already warned the latter of it.

Talking to Dev Sahni on The Unibet Lowdown ahead of the much-anticipated clash, Tyson Fury said, “There will be no more, I did tell him on Instagram a few months ago. I said every time you call me a bad name, your percentage will go down. He didn’t call him any bad names. That’s why he went quiet so he did go quiet when I did tell him not so.”
