Tyson Fury Explains How Dillian Whyte’s Absence From the Press Conference Is a ‘Shame’ for His Kids and His Family

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury didn’t mince his words while demeaning Dillian Whyte’s act of being absent from the recent media presser. ‘The Gypsy King’ went all-out verbally assaulting his opponent, to which promoter Frank Warren also contributed.

Tyson Fury accused Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn of suggesting his boxer avoid the event. That said, Fury pulled off the entire interaction single-handedly. While he took numerous digs at Whyte, the WBC champion didn’t back off from mentioning his opponent’s family.

Referring to Whyte’s absence, Tyson Fury told, “I think it’s a shame, not just for him but for his kids and for his family to look back in time as well. This is a promoter’s argument, this is not the boxers. This is his promoter telling him, ‘Don’t get involved in any media, don’t sell the fight, don’t do anything. You can’t make anymore money.”

The purse bid for the fight has been set at 80/20 in favor of Tyson Fury, which means he will earn way more than what Whyte would pocket. But this will also be Dillian Whyte’s biggest payday so far. While he is also getting a chance to fight for the world title, Whyte is clearly on the profitable side.
