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.
