Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte fight officials revealed with no British judges.. just as Gypsy King demanded
TYSON FURY’S world heavyweight title fight with Dillian Whyte will have NO British judges.
The WBC champion declared he wanted NO British judges for his grudge match against Whyte this month.
This is because of Josh Taylor’s controversial win over Jack Catterall, which led to the British Boxing Board of Control to investigate the outcome, with the ringside judges to be asked to explain their cards.
And Fury‘s demands have been met, with Italian Guido Cavalleri, Canadian Robert Tapper and Mexican Juan Carlos Pelayo being selected to score the fight.
Fury is keen for the rightful winner to be declared on the night, and wants “proper, experienced, judges who will do the right thing.”
He told talkSPORT: “I’ve seen an article recently where Frank Warren said there would be no British judges for this fight and I reiterate that as well.

“Those words echo around my training camp. We don’t want British judges for this fight. We want proper, experienced, judges who will do the right thing.
“If Dillian Whyte beats me, give him the decision. Do not try and rob anybody of this fight, give the man the decision, give the man what he deserves.
“If I win, do the same for me. In boxing, these fighters don’t want any gifts, they don’t want robbery decisions.
“People want to win if they win, and lose if they lose. In the game, we’ve seen so many boxing decisions go the opposite way and I’m just thinking ‘what are they watching.’
