TYSON FURY was left red-faced after a hilarious gaffe in which he claimed he and Dillian Whyte ‘slept together’ at a training camp.
The two Brits came face-to-face on Wednesday for a press conference ahead of Saturday’s heavyweight title fight at Wembley.

Whyte was quick to shoot down Fury’s comments
But it was Fury who slipped up when reflecting on their time together as training camp buddies over a decade ago.
Fury said: “We were good friends together, we went out for a drink, we ate together, we slept together.”
This prompted howls of laughter from those gathered as Whyte shot Fury a bemused look.
He quickly yelled: “We didn’t sleep together bro! We slept in a similar surrounding but not together bro!”
And Fury, who couldn’t stop chuckling, responded: “I’m sorry man!”
Punters were certainly amused as they flooded social media in the aftermath.
One said: “Nahh that’s actually funny.”
Another wrote: “So quick to counter. Hope his punching is as fast in the ring.”
One laughed: “Nah this is hilarious.”
Another added: “Watch Whyte’s face hahaha.”
However, the press conference ended on a sour note when Fury’s dad John attempted to confront Whyte.
Words were exchanged between the entourages as things threatened the boil over.
But Fury and Whyte were quick to defuse the situation as they ushered their respective teams away from the stage.
Speaking afterwards, Whyte said: “John Fury was trying to start something.

“He wants to rob the fans out of a fight. John Fury is a real idiot.”
Fury added: “I just prevented a big ruckus on stage.
“People want a big ruckus at press conferences, they want screaming and shouting and punching.
“Listen, let the two boxers do a fight, and enjoy it.
“It’s not for entourages to get involved or anything like that.
“I had to be professional and say ‘look let’s step back, let me and him do what we’ve got to do and that’s it’.”
