Dillian Whyte sends warning to Tyson Fury ahead of heavyweight blockbuster

Dillian Whyte has sent a message to Tyson Fury ahead of their heavyweight blockbuster this Saturday night. Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight championship against fellow Brit Whyte in front of over 90,000 people at the national stadium on Saturday, April 23 - a fight Whyte has been waiting years for.

Over the past few months, we have heard absolutely nothing from Whyte. The Body Snatcher did not take part in the first press conference after the fight was announced, leading to speculation he could pull out of the bout altogether. But that was never once in his mind. Whilst he was frustrated with Fury's camp not working with him, he chose to remain quiet, whilst training in Portugal in preparation for the biggest fight of his career.

It will be his first time back in the ring for over a year, after he avenged his second career loss to Alexander Povetkin, winning with a fourth-round knockout.
