Tyson Fury told Dillian Whyte he wouldn't copy Anthony Joshua mistake during face-off

Tyson Fury told Dillian Whyte he wouldn't allow him to hold his belts - three years after Anthony Joshua handed his to Andy Ruiz Jr before losing them in the ring days later.

Joshua, who first faced Ruiz Jr in June 2019, handed his belts over to his Mexican rival following their fight-week press conference. He would go on to be stopped in the seventh round before winning back his titles in Saudi Arabia six months later.

Fury and Whyte faced off twice at Wembley yesterday, including on the hallowed turf, with both staged events passing off largely without incident. And when they stepped on to the pitch, Fury said to his heavyweight rival: "Don't do it. I got told years ago not to hold someone else's belts."
