WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says his clash with Dillian Whyte is like “the Ferrari racing the Vauxhall Corsa”.
Fury would put his world title on the line against mandatory challenger Whyte
on April 23.
The bout is scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium in London.
Although Fury has labeled Whyte as “a dangerous” fighter, the 33-year-old feels that he should “look like Muhammed Ali” against the fellow British fighter.
“He’s no different to any other fighter in my career. They are all dangerous, got a puncher’s chance and want to win, and they know that riches and glory await victory,” he told reporters at a press conference.
“If I can’t look like Muhammed Ali against this guy, then I’m not as good as I think I am. I will chop him to bits, not a problem. I will smash his face right in. You are going to see a boxing masterclass. You are going to see the difference in levels. You are going to see the Ferrari racing the Vauxhall Corsa.
“There are levels to this game. I’m not saying that Dillian Whyte isn’t capable of winning a fight, he’s won nearly 30, but there is a gulf in class.”
Promoter Frank Warren said that Whyte was “disgraceful” for not making an appearance at Tuesday’s media briefing.
