Dillian Whyte rips ‘coward’ Tyson Fury for reaction to Billy Joe Saunders’ dad getting shoved by security at Canelo bout

DILLIAN WHYTE has blasted Tyson Fury as ‘all mouth’ and a ‘coward’ for not stepping in when Billy Joe Saunders’ dad was shoved by security.

As Saunders’ fight against Canelo was waved off with the Brit suffering a broken eye socket, worried dad Tom decided he needed to check on his son, and leapt over the barrier.

Wearing a blue cap, Tom was then shoved forcibly backwards by a security guard, before others joined in to help Saunders Sr.

One person who decided to stay out of the brawl was Tyson Fury.

Wearing a Versace shirt the 6ft 9in 19st-plus WBC heavyweight champion of the world stayed behind the barrier and appeared to be begging for calm.

But Whyte was NOT impressed, and slammed the Gypsy King for not stepping in and protecting Saunders Sr.

Whyte shared the video clip of the brawl happening, and wrote: “@Tyson_Fury is a coward how can you stand by and watch @bjsaunders_ father get treated like this and you didn’t jump the barrier and at least try to stop them man handling him.

“You are a coward all mouth #fightingman #ALLMOUTH.”

It’s not the first time Whyte has labelled Fury a ‘coward’, having angled for a fight against his fellow Brit for some time.

After his revenge mission against Alexander Povetkin, Whyte is back into the mandatory position with the WBC – the belt Fury ripped off Deontay Wilder.

But with Fury all set to face WBA, WBO and IBF champ Anthony Joshua on either August 7 or 14, Whyte looks once again to be out in the cold.

He waited over 1,000 days as the WBC’s mandatory to get a shot at Wilder, before seeing Fury beat the American and then having his own disaster as he was KO’d by Povetkin.

But Whyte got his revenge against Povetkin in March as he once again waits for his world title shot.

Tyson Fury was part of Team Saunders – but was left reflecting on a bad night
