By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury could be heading into his version of Waterloo this Saturday night, about to taste defeat for the first time at the hands of the faster more powerful Dillian Whyte.
Dillian has the power, speed, chin, and more importantly the stamina required to send Fury skittering to his first career defeat on Saturday night.
With the way that Fury has transformed his fighting style in the last three years, turning into a brawler, thanks to his American trainer Sugarhill Steward, he’s going to be fighting Whyte’s type of fight on Saturday night.
Steward has created the perfect style for Whyte to excel against. The old style that Fury had with him bouncing around the ring would have been a nightmare for Dillian, but it’s too late for ‘The Gypsy King’ to revert back to what he once was.
He’s put on too much weight, and he’s not young enough to fight the way he used to. Fury is fat & slow, and an easy mark for Whyte’s powerful left hook.
Dillian about to be fabulously rich
Whyte wants this victory so bad that he can taste it. All that money will be pouring into his bank account after he destroys Fury. You can’t even imagine. The motivation is there for Whyte.
Let’s be real. Fury is already fat & rich with an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In contrast, Whyte’s net worth is $1 million. By this time next year, Whyte’s net worth could be ten times what it is now, and he might be on his way to equaling what Fury has made.
You don’t think that’s the motivation for Dillian? Once he whips Fury, Whyte’s bank account is going to be stuffed full of that sweet cash, especially after he faces the Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk 2 rematch winner.
Fury just dodged a bullet in his last fight, getting dropped TWICE by Deontay Wilder, and some think he was given a long count to save him from a knockout.
The vulnerability is definitely there with WBC heavyweight champion Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs). He was essentially knocked out in his first fight with Deontay Wilder in 2018.
Really, that was clearly a fight that should have been stopped in the 12th when Deontay laid Fury low with a beautiful right-left combination to the head.
He [Whyte] has definitely shown a white flag today,” Fury said to the media. “All this social media stuff, ‘I’m not promoting the fight, I’m not getting involved in mind games. He’s given me that much more confidence it’s unbelievable.
“He’s terrified. He’s definitely showing the white flag in my estimation of this fight.
“The way he’s going on about it, saying he doesn’t want to go face-to-face. Of course, he doesn’t, because he’ll see that fire in my eyes.
“That’s what it is, it’s fear, it’s terror. It’s all of the above and I don’t blame him for not being here today.”
