EDDIE HEARN has backed Dillian Whyte to knock Tyson Fury out in the 11th round of their much-anticipated fight.
The duo are set to do battle at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on April 23.
Eddie Hearn has backed Dillian Whyte to beat Tyson Fury
The Gypsy King has had his power questioned
Fury, 33, is the heavy favourite to get the job done against challenger Whyte.
But Hearn believes that his man has the power to cause the Gypsy King significant problems – and questions Fury’s own weapons.
He said: “Tyson Fury in my opinion doesn’t carry the power to take Dillian Whyte out.
“I believe actually when they trade up left hooks Tyson Fury will go to sleep, and he will go to sleep in round 11.”
The Gypsy King shocked fans last week by vowing that he will RETIRE after his bout with Whyte.
WBC champ Fury then doubled down on the claim when speaking to BT Sport, saying: “The only thing I can gain is money.
“So after this fight I’ll have earned over £100million. If I can spend that, I don’t deserve any more, do I?
“I know Mike Tyson spent half a billion and Evander Holyfield 400million and all the rest, but I don’t live their big flash lifestyles.
“I live in Morecambe, in Lancashire. It’s cheap there. I don’t have any big habits like I’m gambling tons of money away.
“I don’t do anything. I can never spend the money I’ve got.
“I’ve got stuff I want to do, a lot of opportunities that don’t involve me getting brain damage.
“I’ve got six kids and a wife. When is enough enough?
“Why do I have to be one of those people who went on too long and got injured?
“Just had one too many fights and blew it all for what? A few more quid?”
Fury is a committed family man
