No Whyte, No Problem:
Tyson Fury Entertains At Open Workout
WBC/Lineal/Ring Magazine heavyweight world champion Tyson
"The Gypsy King" Fury is comfortable as a solo artist. After
Dillian Whyte did not show up to Tuesday's open workout in
London, Fury thrilled the home fans on his own. Fury, who
will battle Whyte on ESPN+ PPV this Saturday at Wembley
Stadium (2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT), turned southpaw and went
through the fight week paces with his head trainer,
SugarHill Steward.
A crowd of more than 94,000 is expected for this all-UK
showdown, which would be one of the largest audiences in
combat sports history.
Without Whyte to share the spotlight, this is some of what
Fury had to say.
"Frank Warren and the boys have done a fantastic job. It's
been a great promotion. Looking forward to a fantastic
event."
"I think it's gonna be real for {Whyte}. If not today or
tomorrow or this week, then as soon as I hit him in the
mouth on Saturday night. Then, he knows it's real!"
"I've been boxing quite a bit as a southpaw in camp. We'll
see. Whatever works. If that don't work, we'll switch off to
orthodox. If that don't work, we'll switch back up. I might
just go square on!"
On Whyte not showing up to the workout
"That's Dillian's concern. That's none of my business.
Dillian Whyte, I'm sure he's got his reasons why he's not
here today. Whatever they are, good luck to him, and I'll
see him on the fight night."
"I've said this is my last fight, and it will be."
"I'm overwhelmed with the support I've had over the years.
It's been fantastic. 94,000 people, it's unbelievable, it's
amazing stuff."
