Dillian Whyte 28-2 (19) will be too versatile for Tyson Fury 31-0-1 (22) when he challenged the WBC heavyweight king for his green belt at London’s Wembley Stadium on April 23.
That is the firm belief of his coach Xavier Miller, who is training Whyte for the biggest fight of his life in camp in Portugal.
Last year Whyte rebounded from his shock knockout loss to Alexander Povetkin to stop the Russian veteran in four rounds in their immediate rematch.
Fury is coming off an 11th round knockout victory over hard-hitting former world champion Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout in October in a fight that say him on the deck twice in the fourth.
Despite being a top-notch boxer, Fury has opted to brawl in recent years. Miller believes that Fury may have deteriorated a little after engaging in these wars.
“It will be interesting because he hasn’t faced anything quite like Dillian Whyte,” Miller said to MyBettingSites.co.uk.
“Whyte can do a lot of different things in the ring, he is very versatile; aggressive, power in both hands, good counter puncher, good body puncher, so Tyson would have a lot to deal with.
“At the same time Tyson’s very tall, can box at long range. It’s a fight I’ve always wanted for Dillian ever since I became head trainer.
“The truth is, Tyson is the number one guy, so that’s the one I want to beat. I want to beat the genuine guy for a genuine world title.
“I’ve got the same mentality as Dillian, I want the tough fights, the best fights, and I want Dillian to be a world champion.
“Tyson’s been in a few wars of late and when you get your shot you’ve got to take it and it looks like our shot is coming. We’re going to take it.”
Fury and Whyte know each other well. Early on in their careers they were sparring partners. But as they continued to develop they turned into bitter rivals. Whyte claims he dropped Fury repeatedly during those sparring sessions. Fury says he used Whyte like a punching bag.
Last month Whyte claimed that Fury’s real name is not, in fact, Tyson.
“My real name is Dillian. I know his real name is Luke,” Whyte told SunSport.
“He changed it to Tyson to make himself sound harder. People can have a little look around on the internet and see for themselves.
“In boxing, the name Tyson is a lot more sellable than Luke.
“A lot of what Tyson does and says is a game, you can never take anything he says seriously or at face value.
“He might say he wants to fight me sometimes but how can you trust a man who doesn’t even use his own name?”
