Tyson Fury forced into change in corner for Dillian Whyte world title fight

Tyson Fury will be without regular cutman Jacob 'Stitch' Duran when he faces Dillian Whyte for the world heavyweight title later this month.

The legendary cornerman will be unable to travel for the fight, and has been replaced with one of Britain's most renowned cutmen Frank Hopkins. The Portsmouth native was put forward as a suggestion for Fury's corner by promoter Frank Warren, who has worked with Hopkins on a number of occasions.

Fury was joined by Duran in the corner for his last two fights with Deontay Wilder after switching up his training camp to join with the Kronk Gym's SugarHill Steward. But he will be without the American for his first bout on UK soil since 2018 when he faces Whyte on April 23.
