Systems look to be a go for Tyson Fury to defend the WBC heavyweight champion against Dillian Whyte. It's still unknown when the Brits will square off, but before that's revealed, someone close to Fury believes it will be an easy night at the office.
Fury's taken on the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder (three times), and Derek Chisora. But his half-brother, Tommy, feels that Whyte is going to be the easiest of them of all when it's all said and done.
"In this game, there is levels to it - that's just the top and bottom of it in boxing - and Dillian Whyte just isn't at Tyson's level," Tommy told Sky Sports.
“This will be one of Tyson’s easiest fights. You go from Deontay Wilder who can put your lights out in one second with one punch, and then you’re going over to Dillian Whyte who has not always looked the best—not always been up there. He’s taken a while to get this title shot. He’s got a few miles on the clock himself. He’s had a few bad knock-outs — I don’t see him posing any threat.”
Despite feeling his sibling is going to take care of business, the 22-year-old knows anything can happen in boxing, especially in the land of the giants.
"It's heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen," Fury admits. "But as far as him being the best and ruling the division, Tyson is that man and will do for however long he wants to."
Tommy Fury (7-0, 4 KOs) last fought in August when he beat Anthony Taylor via unanimous decision. He was scheduled to face Jake Paul in December, but he had to bow out of the fight after suffering an illness on top of a broken rib. He's looking to compete on the Fury-Whyte undercard.
