DILLIAN WHYTE launched a sensational attack on “w***er” Tyson Fury by claiming he has “f***ed the entire heavyweight boxing scene”.
Fury’s camp say he caught coronavirus, leading to his July 24 fight with the Deontay Wilder getting pushed back to October 9.
Fury has refused to comment and been photographed mixing with fans in Las Vegas within a week of initial reports that there was an outbreak in his team.
Whyte, the leading mandatory challenger for Fury’s WBC belt, raged to SunSport: “Tyson Fury is a w***er and a disgrace to British boxing if he has caught Covid-19 and gone around Las Vegas mixing with fans after cancelling the Deontay Wilder fight.
“He talks s*** because when you have Covid-19 you are sick and you have to quarantine and instead he is walking around smiling, mixing and taking photos with people.
“Either he has got it or he hasn’t – they said his mate and sparring partner Joseph Parker had it and the next minute he’s out at a UFC fight denying it.
“There are videos and photos of him out and about, happy as Larry, just like he was when the Anthony Joshua fight got cancelled.
“The biggest fight in British boxing history was cancelled and he was laughing and joking about it.
“It is exactly the same now the Wilder fight has been cancelled because of him apparently having covid.
“Loads of boxers are using Covid as an excuse to pull-out of fights or as a back-up excuse if they lose.
“These guys are irresponsible if they are using Covid when it is killing people and devastating families all over the world.”
‘DYING ON IT’S A***’
British fight fans were dealt a bitter blow when a massive showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua was KO’d after Wilder won his legal battle for a trilogy scrap with the Gypsy King.
But with no Brits allowed to travel to America for Fury vs Wilder 3 and BT Sport failing to announce the broadcast, interest has been minimal.
Fuming Whyte added: “Fury knew that this fight was dying on its a*** and pulled out.
“They couldn’t give a ticket away as Brits were not travelling and none of the TV companies were bothered about another 5am fight against a bloke he has already beaten.
“Money is everything to Fury. Where is that £7million he supposedly donated to the homeless charities after the first Wilder fight? Tyson Fury talks a lot of s*** and people sadly lap it up.”
“Tyson Fury has f***ed the entire heavyweight boxing scene all around the world and the whole sport is struggling because of it.
“When the heavyweights are buzzing the whole sport thrives and when it’s rubbish the whole sport suffers.
“Losing the AJ vs Fury fight has f***ed boxing because casual fans just see big fights not happening and people at the top lying to them or fighting bums instead.
‘NASTY PIECE OF WORK’
“Fury is a nasty piece of work and his biggest skill is conning the public because they always end up feeling sorry for him.
“Boxing is a joke right now, every other sport is getting attention, and it’s because he has now f***ed two or three of the biggest fights around.”
Fury, 32, has not fought since his seventh-round KO of American Wilder in February of last year.
It has angered Whyte, who spent more than 1,000 days as mandatory challenger waiting for a shot at Fury’s WBC belt.
And the postponement of AJ v Fury means that they heavyweight division’s 21-year wait goes on to anoint its first undisputed heavyweight king since Lennox Lewis.
AJ holds the division’s other WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles.
And ‘Body Snatcher’ Whyte has a three-fight plan to ensure a single heavyweight ruler.
‘CRIMINAL’
He said: “If Fury fights in October then he will have been out of the ring, not defending the WBC heavyweight title for 20 months – almost two years – that is criminal.
“He messed me around when ordered by the WBC to fight me for the diamond belt he asked for.
“He messed Joshua around on the undisputed fight and now he has messed Wilder around on their rematch.
“The WBC is a prestigious belt and I don’t understand how they can tolerate this guy taking the p*** with their biggest belt.
“It will have only been fought for five times in the last four years, against three different opponents. Enough is enough.
“Fury should be made champion in recess, elevate me from interim champion to champion and I will fight Wilder straight away.
COMPETITION: SPOT THE BALL TO WIN A CAR AND CASH
“If and when Fury is ever ready to fight he can fight the winner – which will be me – and then the winner of that, the rightful WBC champion, can fight AJ for all the belts.
“In three simple fights you would know the real No1 undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. All this nonsense has to stop.
Fury’s management team MTK Global refused to comment when approached by SunSport.
