DILLIAN WHYTE has continued his feud with Tyson Fury by telling the Gypsy King to “glove up” and follow through with and fight him, just as he promised.
The two British heavyweights have been going at it for the last couple of weeks on social media, and things don’t look like changing any time soon.
Whyte uploaded a video of Fury accepting a fight against him from back in May 2019.
At the time the Gypsy King was preparing for his fight against German Tom Schwarz – one he won easily with a second-round KO.
But Fury was still eyeing a scrap against WBC’s mandatory Whyte – who is now first in line for his belt following his demolition job on Deontay Wilder.
Now Whyte has called on Fury to stand by his promise and fight him next.
Writing on Instagram, the Bodysnatcher said: “Coward @gypsyking101 you opened your mouth to say you’d fight me, now like the rest of them your running scared.
“We sparred countless times and I put you down, that is a FACT.
“I’ve work my way to the top the hard way, all I owe you is another beating.
“Our last 10 opponents don’t compare. GLOVE UP COWARD.”
The raging message comes just hours after Fury revealed what he claims is a “concerned text” he sent to Whyte last year – and said he “looked after” his rival only to be “repaid with BS tweets”.
The Gypsy King posted a text he says he sent Whyte last year after the heavyweight laboured past Mariusz Wach in Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s rematch win against Andy Ruiz Jr.
Fury tweeted: “This is a text I sent @dillianwhyte back in December after his fight with Wach, I was concerned about him so I reached out to him.
“And this is how people treat you when your (sic) nice to them!!”
At the time the Brixton puncher had only just been cleared of any doping charges by United Kingdom Anti Doping, after it was revealed an ‘adverse finding’ emerged in his pre-fight drug test before beating Oscar Rivas last July.
Whyte lost his position as WBC mandatory with Fury going on to replace him and beating Deontay Wilder for the belt.
Fury claimed he realised Whyte was frustrated, and texted him encouraging words.
Whyte had earlier blasted Fury on Twitter, calling him a “Gypsy Coward” and claimed he left the WBC champion “pathetically sobbing on the canvas” during sparring.
