Frank Warren has ripped into Dillian Whyte for his lack of promotion ahead of his heavyweight title clash with Tyson Fury on April 23. Fury is finally set to face Dillian Whyte for the WBC championship after the fight was mandated in December, after the fight encounteried significant delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions.
However, an agreement was finally reached and the countdown to the fight is on - which will be Fury 's first in the UK since 2019 and potentially his last ever after confirming that he has no plans to fight again after facing Whyte.
The fight will take place under the Wembley arch with a record purse bid and in front of a capacity crowd in what could be the biggest British boxing fight of the 21st century so far. Fury took his chance to dub Whyte as a 'coward' ahead of the fight for not showing up to last week's press conference.

Warren told Fight Night: "They had a smoking gun so that smoking gun has been fired, we’ve sold the tickets, that has really backfired in a big way and it’s a shame because we wanted them to be there [at the press conference]. We wanted to see Dillian Whyte, irrespective of being total unprofessional in the way he’s behaving to help promote this fight.
"The fact is it will be a good fight, he’s a good challenge for Tyson and I’m sure it’s a big moment for him all this time after he’s been waiting
