Most are skeptical of that declaration, particularly before he gets the chance to fight Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles, to become undisputed champion,<\/p>\n<p>Whyte (28-2) has not fought since March 2021, when he found revenge in a rematch versus Alexander Povetkin. The power-puncher has previously sparred with Fury earlier in his career, and the two have long respected each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDillian Whyte is a good fighter,\u201d the 33-year-old Fury said. \u201cHe is a good, strong, solid man. He\u2019s big, he\u2019s strong [and] he\u2019s tough. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, he\u2019s got good power. He has knocked out a lot of men. He has had a good learning career, as well. He\u2019s got a lot of experience in the fight game. He\u2019s definitely a man that needs a lot of respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>The 34-year-old Whyte, following a pattern that has been consistent throughout his career, was absent for much of the pre-fight build up and promotion, reportedly upset about the financial breakdown of the fight agreement. He notably skipped the kickoff press conference in February and the open workout last week, leaving Fury to promote the fight himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it will be the biggest fight in English history, as the two British fighters will be in front of an U.K. record 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no strategy [in skipping events]\u201d Whyte said. \u201cThere are two sides to his story. You only hear one side of the story because one side says a lot of things. Because I didn\u2019t say anything, everyone was saying \u2018you\u2019re scared\u2019 and \u2018you\u2019re hiding.\u2019 I ain\u2019t scared of s\u2013t. I ain\u2019t hiding from s\u2013t.

Whyte weighed in at 253 pounds, six pounds heavier than his previous bout with Povetkin. The champion weighed in at 264 pounds, which was actually 13 pounds lighter than his weight during his final fight against Wilder, a change he credits to his ability to have a longer training camp this time around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, it leaves Fury with an 11-pound advantage over Whyte. The bulked-up Whyte will likely attempt to follow his \u201cbody-snatcher\u201d moniker and try to bully The Gypsey King inside, attacking his torso and keeping within close proximity to mitigate Fury\u2019s reach advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/YE-Sports-Photos-2021.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Tyson Fury (left) jabs Deontay Wilder \" class=\"wp-image-22010797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/YE-Sports-Photos-2021.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/YE-Sports-Photos-2021.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/YE-Sports-Photos-2021.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/YE-Sports-Photos-2021.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Tyson Fury (left) jabs Deontay Wilder during his October heavyweight title defense. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whyte has frustratingly waited for this opportunity and this stage, long feeling slighted in the division despite his achievements inside the ring.

To coming back and being mentally out, a druggie and an alcoholic\u2014all of the rest of the stuff\u2014I\u2019m not ashamed of it. It\u2019s a part of who I am.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo coming back and getting back to the top of the world and having three big fights with Deontay Wilder over there in the U.S., and now being back in England after all these years, four years away, and now I\u2019m fighting my old pal Dillian Whyte back at home for all the glory and all the belts. Who would have thought it? We\u2019re looking forward to an awesome, memorable night.
