Tyson Fury has promised to fight training partner and former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker if Dillian Whyte pulls out of the pair's fight on Saturday night.
Whyte and Fury's team have been at loggerheads over his involvement in the pre-fight promotion of this weekend's event. And despite seeming to come to terms last week with a virtual press conference, the London native skipped an open workout yesterday.
Now Fury is claiming Parker, with whom he has been training for the fight, will be happy to step in and fight him at Wembley Stadium should Whyte skip the fight night itself. It remains to be seen if Whyte will attend the pre-fight press conference, while he would need to attend the weigh-in for the bout to go ahead.
