Whyte: I dropped Fury in sparring
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
WBC interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte claims he dropped WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury several times in sparring sessions. “Well, me and Tyson Fury sparred, and I bashed him about and I dropped him on multiple occasions,” Whyte told Sky Sports. “It’s as simple as that. You know, he wants to sit around, talking this and saying that. But if I’m such an easy fight, why is he not in any rush to fight me? He said before beating Wilder, ‘When I beat Wilder, I’m gonna give Dillian Whyte his title shot after beating Wilder.’ He just talks rubbish. I’m just sick and tired.”

Does Fury need more money? He should fight Wilder and AJ and quit! AND, I'm not sure either fight will be as easy as he's making out. I give it 50-50 that he wins both fights. Don't forget that Wallin gave him all he could handle, and the fight should have been stopped.

Whyte fighting to keep mandatory timeframe
WBC interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte lashed out at the camp of full WBC champion Tyson Fury, who he claims are trying to cheat him out of his mandatory title shot due in February 2021. Fury co-promoter Bob Arum is looking to eliminate or postpone “meaningless” mandatories for one year due to COVID-19 issues.
“Arum’s talking rubbish,” Whyte told Sky Sports. “If he represented me he’d be screaming that this is the biggest travesty in the history of boxing
“Nearly 1,000 days as #1 without being given a shot, whereas Tyson Fury barely scraped by the WBC #31 ranked Otto Wallin in front of only 3,500 people and then got gifted my mandatory position without fighting an eliminator, never mind a final eliminator.”
Whyte was set to face Alexander Povetkin in July, but that bout has been cancelled. A fight between Whyte and MMA fighter Francis Ngannou has been discussed, but for now Whyte isn’t currently scheduled to box.
