Eddie Hearn lost confidence in Dillian Whyte 's chances of beating Tyson Fury when he noted his demeanour at the pre-fight press conference.
Fury retained his heavyweight world titles last weekend by knocking out Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley with a brutal uppercut in the sixth round. Fury was in control of the fight for the first five rounds, despite one judge scoring two rounds in Whyte's favour.
Hearn, who has previously promoted Whyte, wasn't involved in the fight as Frank Warren and Bob Arum outbid him by £7million to host the title showdown. The Matchroom Boxing boss said he didn't like Whyte being friendly with Fury before the fight and thinks it worked in Fury's favour.
