John Fury on 'world class' training camp ahead of Dillian Whyte fight

The open workout for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte took place at Wembley Box Park this morning, with Dillian Whyte missing the event. In attendance was Frank Warren along with Tyson Fury and his father John.

John Fury has been part of all of his son's camp and will see two of his sons line up in North London on Saturday night with Tommy Fury taking on Daniel Bocianski under the arch. Fury has spoken about the fight when interviewed by the Queensberry promotional team.

The former boxer explained how well his son's camp had gone in comparison to previous fights. He also lauded the 'world class' training provided by American coach Sugarhill Steward.

"We've had a good camp, we've been injury free," Fury explained, "Everything has gone right, he's had world class food, he's had training. Credit to Sugarhill (Steward), he's a boxing masterclass teacher - we've not left a stone unturned - he will not overlook Dillian Whyte and will train as hard for him as anyone else."

"Tyson is a different animal with intelligence, strength and speed and I don't know myself what he's going to do after the first round - what we've trained for, he might do something different."

"We will know once he gets in front of Dillian Whyte - he's got a gear box with 25 years in it so at the end of day he'll use all of them if needs be"

"It's going to be a spectacular night and there's only one winner - Tyson Fury."

Promoter Frank Warren also offered his view on what would happen when the two British heavyweights enter the ring on Satuday night, he explained: "I think Tyson will control the pace of the fight, common sense tells you that he's going to get behind his jab and use his jab and that will control the fight.

"He's the bigger man, he's got the longer reach and Dillian's got to get under that jab"
