Eddie Hearn gives Dillian Whyte a winning chance against Tyson Fury

The all-British world heavyweight title showdown takes place on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

Tyson Fury is a huge favourite going into his WBC world heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte on April 23, but Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn believes his man could produce a huge upset at Wembley Stadium.

Speaking in an interview with IFL TV, Hearn claimed that Whyte has the ability to finish Fury with just one brutal left hook. 

“He [Whyte] has the ability to take you out with one shot, he’s technically better than people think, he’s incredibly fit, incredibly durable and he has a big set of balls," Hearn said. 

“It’s going to be very difficult to get into a rhythm against Tyson Fury.

"I expect Tyson Fury to be winning the fight, perhaps at all times during the fight. But if he switches off for one moment, Dillian Whyte is a fantastic body puncher and has a fantastic left hook that can take you out with one shot.

"Dillian can win this fight. He’s an underdog in this fight, and Tyson Fury is a brilliant heavyweight, he’s the best heavyweight in the world right now on paper.

"He’s the favourite in the fight, but Dillian Whyte can win this fight if he gets it right or if they trade up, and they will trade up, trust me. You could see a knockout like Whyte-Chisora.

"If Tyson Fury gets buttoned by Dillian Whyte’s left hook, it’s over."
