"I'll give him the best hiding he's ever had.

"Whyte, train hard! Because you are getting annihilated."

Tommy Fury, Tyson's brother, said: "In this game, there is levels to it - that's just the top and bottom of it in boxing - and Dillian Whyte just isn't at Tyson's level.

"This will be one of Tyson's easiest fights, because you go from Deontay Wilder who can put your lights out in one second with one punch and then you're going over to Dillian Whyte who has not always looked the best, not always been up there.

Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte

"He's taken a while to get this title shot, he's got a few miles on the clock himself, he's had a few bad knock-outs - I don't see him posing any threat."
