Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte Prediction: Can ‘The Body Snatcher’ Succeed Where Deontay Wilder Failed?

Two time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will be defending his WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles against Dillian Whyte on April 23. The bout will take place at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Fury will be stepping in the ring after successfully defending his belts against Deontay Wilder in October 2021. Whyte’s last bout was his rematch against Alexander Povetkin in March 2021.

The Fury vs Whyte bout will also see many prominent undercards. Notably, Fury’s brother Tommy Fury will be going against Daniel Bocianski.

The recent press conference saw Fury in his usual showman self. Fury seemed extremely confident about the outcome of the fight. He also mentioned that he felt good to return to England to fight.

Whyte, on the other hand, was more calm and collected. He spoke about returning to the ring after the Povetkin rematch. He also talked about what it means to fight at the Wembley stadium.

However, there was no display of bad blood between the fighters. Both Fury and Whyte even de-escalated the situation when their camps had a spat.

Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte – Fight Analysis

Fury stands 6’9″ and has had an unbeaten record almost throughout his career, with only a draw. He has had 31 wins in his career with 22 knockouts. He is considered a lineal heavyweight champion, making him one of the few heavyweights in boxing history to hold that title.

One of Fury’s strongpoints is his massive reach of 85 inches. But what actually sets Fury apart is his unique and dynamic fighting style. The fact that his style is a combination of multiple tactics makes Fury a hard to read fighter. And adding to that, the sheer power behind his punches makes Fury a truly formidable force to reckon with.

This unpredictability, in Fury’s fighting style, is what Whyte might find extremely challenging in his quest for the title.

Whyte, on the other hand, stands 6’4″. He was a former kickboxer who transitioned to boxing. Whyte has an impressive record of 28 wins and 2 losses, with 19  knockouts. At 78 inches, Whyte’s reach falls a little short when compared to Fury’s reach.

However, Whyte makes up for this by being a super adaptive counter puncher. Unlike a lot of heavyweights, his style adapts depending on his opponent. He is also pretty vicious with his body punches, which easily tire out his opponents.

Fury should be wary of Whyte’s adaptability and body punches if he wishes to retain his titles. He should especially steer clear of Whyte’s brutal left hook.
