Tyson Fury and wife Paris made same observation about Dillian Whyte before fight

Tyson Fury and his wife Paris both felt that Dillian Whyte looked nervous ahead of his maiden world title fight back in April.

The Jamaican-born London heavyweight had earned his spot as the WBC's mandatory challenger years prior, and won it back last year from Alexander Povetkin in Gibraltar. But he was handily dealt with by Fury over six rounds, before the champion stopped him with a right uppercut.

Whyte has since protested the stoppage, saying that he was pushed before hitting the ground, which led to him taking more damage to the back of the head. And he feels that he should have been given more than the standard 10 count as a result of Fury's rule infraction.
