DILLIAN WHYTE has blasted Tyson Fury as a “two-sided guy” and says that he only revealed he floored the Gypsy King in sparring because he was sick of being trash-talked.
Whyte is the mandatory challenger for Fury’s WBC belt that he won when he sensationally stopped Deontay Wilder in February.

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte contine to have some verbal sparring
But not for the first time, Whyte looks set to be pushed into the background with Fury reportedly having agreed a two-fight deal against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua for next year.
Joshua holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight world titles.
Speaking about Fury last month, Whyte revealed last month that he had “dropped him on multiple occasions” in a sparring session.
Now the Brixton Bodysnatcher has said he decided to reveal all after becoming sick of Fury’s taunts.
‘TWO-SIDED GUY’
Speaking on The AK and Barak Show, Whyte said: “Yeah, well he starting saying stuff about me so I said come on you know what happened in the gym.
“You know what went down. I never went out and said anything he did. But Fury is a very two-sided guy.
“Like sometimes he says something and you think the dudes cool and I ain’t got a beef with him then. The next minute he starts talking a load of rubbish.
“You’re like, ‘Are we cool, are we beefing or are you talking sense. What’s going on?'”
Fury previously said that he has beaten Whyte in the gym many times, describing him as a “heavy bag on legs”.
WHYTE TAKING LEGAL ACTION
This clearly riled Whyte, and with him now the next in line for Fury’s WBC belt, their rivalry shows no signs of simmering down.
Fury even claimed that Wilder was only in fighting mood because he was protected by the coronavirus lockdown.
The Gypsy King posted on Twitter: “Funny how everyone wants to fight during Covid-19, when there are no sports events happening.
“Also I have a contract with the @bronzebomber first and when I win that I’ll have the fight with Joshua as undisputed comes before mandatory. Happy hunting.”
SunSport reported how Whyte has taken legal action against the WBC over his mandatory title fight with Fury – after the Gypsy King agreed to fight Joshua.
Whyte has been left fuming after being overlooked yet again, seeking advice on his legal standpoint.
The 32-year-old will have been the mandatory challenger for the WBC heavyweight crown for 1,000 days in July.
