Tyson Fury makes promise as Dillian Whyte purse bids results revealed in full
29.01.2022 - 16:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Tyson Fury has spoken out for the first time since his fight with Dillian Whyte was confirmed for April with Cardiff being the most likely destination for what could be one of the biggest British fights of the 21st century.
Fury has promised as such, saying that the fight could be the biggest since Frank Bruno was knocked out by Lennox Lewis in 1993 which was also held in Cardiff.
Frank Warren won Friday's purse bid for his client Fury with a £31million deal agreed with £25m going to the Gypsy King with £6m going to Whyte.
Matchroom's Eddie Hearn failed with a £24m bid which would have been more favourable to his client Whyte and Fury has expressed his delight at the deal.
Fury said: "I'm coming home baby. Get ready for the biggest British dust-up since Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno. History in the making."
American promoter and a fellow representative of Fury Bob Arum then tweeted: "Dillian Whyte got what he wished for.
"I look forward to Tyson Fury defending the heavyweight title in one of the biggest all-British showdowns in boxing history. The Gypsy King is coming home."
The fight will be the second defence of Fury's WBC belt and will go ahead with Whyte being the mandatory challenger for the belt, his first attempt at a world title.
There were times where it looked as though a fight may not happen with Whyte's camp digging in and offering resistance to the proposed 80:20 split but Warren and his team appear to have forged a deal despite this.
Talk was abound last week of a fight between Fury and the other world champion Oleksandr Usyk, who took Anthony Joshua's belts in September, but a rematch between them is now the likelihood with May being the date talked about.
