The Gypsy King is a huge favourite to retain his title as well as his undefeated record as a professional.

But Iron Mike believes Whyte has a puncher’s chance of upsetting the odds and winning his first ever world title.

Speaking on the Club Shay Shay YouTube channel when asked how to beat Fury, the 55-year-old explained: “That would be tough, but there were guys that dropped him that were lighter than me.

Then, referencing Steve Cunningham, Tyson continued: “Who was the gentleman that dropped him? The former cruiserweight champ?

“He’s not a harder puncher than I am – I’m able to hurt the big guys.

“I’ll try my best and do whatever ever I know how to do. Go in with your jab. He has to go all out for 12 rounds with him.

“He [Whyte] can’t give him no room to punch, he has to go all out for 12 rounds.

“He can’t give him no time by moving around, can’t allow him to think. He allows Tyson Fury to think a lot, he gives him a lot of time.”

Whyte will earn around £6million for his participation, with Fury set to bank a much meatier £23.5m.

But if the Brixton banger manages to spring a huge shock and beat Fury, he will pocket an extra £3m.

WHYTE MISSES PRESSER

Whyte has failed to attend the first press conference, refusing to break his training camp in Portugal.

And his lawyer has claimed his big-fight silence is in response to his treatment from rival promoter Warren, who won the £30million purse bid and right to hold the fight.

Lawyer and business adviser, Jeffrey Benz told SunSport: “Dillian Whyte would have been more than happy to attend the ticket launch event but was not able to reach agreement with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions on even his very basic requirements which are normal in the sport of boxing.

“But they didn’t even given us notice of where and when this one-sided shindig will occur. It really is incredible. 

“We are dealing with dinosaurs here. They bid $41m for a fight but are all over the place. They haven’t even met Dillian’s basic requirements which are entirely usual and nothing out of the ordinary.”

But veteran promoter Warren has now hit back at the claims and insists Whyte was told about the event last week – and even offered a private jet to get there.
