‘Ready’ Dillian Whyte BREAKS silence ahead of Tyson Fury fight with first post since February 26
DILLIAN WHYTE has finally broken his silence with a social media post ahead of his heavyweight fight with Tyson Fury.
The 34-year-old has been completely silent during the build-up to the highly anticipated event, and even refused to attend the press conference.
He had not posted anything on social media since February 26 and has not yet completed any interviews about the event.
But, he took to Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday to say that he is prepared for the bout.
Whyte said: “I’m ready. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on the 23rd of April @wembleystadium. #LetsGooo!!!!”
He also showed off a video montage of his intense training regime.

Fury believes that his opponent’s radio silence was all down to a comment that he made on Instagram, suggesting that he would lose money if he didn’t keep his mouth shut.
The Gypsy King told Queensbury Promotions: “I did tell him on Instagram a few months ago, every time you call me a bad name your percentage will go down.
“He didn’t call me many bad names after that. That’s why he went quiet. He did go quiet when I did tell him that.”
Meanwhile, Tony Bellew thinks that Whyte’s preparations are “genius”.

When speaking to iFL TV, he said: “I think the silence from him is brilliant, I think it’s a masterstroke.
“Because all the questions, all the problems and questions are being thrown to Tyson Fury. It’s not fault.”
Whyte and Fury are set to meet on April 23 in arguably one of the biggest sporting events of the year so far.
