On January 27th, ‘The Gypsy King’ took to his official Instagram account posting confirmation of his title defense against Dillian Whyte as he captioned under the post saying, “Who else can’t wait for the fight!? The Best of Britain” before adding that it was about time the fans got the fight they wanted.

Fury as always loves to rile up his opponents before their bout and put out a video on Twitter calling out the interim WBC heavyweight champion as he said, “This is a message for Dillian Whyte. Whyte feathers. Coward. Where are you Whyte feathers? You wanted your world title shot for Wilder for three years. You never got it. You were mandatory for me for three minutes and you got your fight didn’t you, you coward. ‘Tyson Fury’s a coward. He doesn’t want to fight Dillian Whyte’. But all of a sudden, it’s on your toes and you’ve gone silent you little b**. Come out, come out of hiding Whyte feathers. Come and get it.”

You’re going to get a good hiding. You wanted a bit of free money didn’t you dosser? But now you’re getting £8million, which is £7.5million too much for you, you old dosser. Come out and say something, bum.”
