TYSON FURY has been warned he could get ‘knocked down once or twice himself’ by Dillian Whyte – before roaring back to win.
That is a similar story to how Fury beat Deontay Wilder in their epic Las Vegas trilogy bout in October.
Tyson Fury was floored twice in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder
Dillian Whyte fights Tyson Fury on April 23
The British star was floored twice in round four, but scored three knockdowns of his own before closing the show in round 11.
Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum was ringside and reckons a similar thriller could occur at Wembley on April 23.
Arum told Fight Hub: “I think you’ll see something like the Wilder fight. Whyte’s a devastating puncher; he’s a rugged guy.
“Fury should knock him down a few times, and he might get knocked down once or twice himself.

“But I think Tyson wins that fight and wins it by stoppage.”
Fury, 33, vowed to wipe the floor with Whyte, 33, before cleaning up the heavyweight belts.
But he backtracked on his hopes of undisputed title glory by claiming he will RETIRE after his UK homecoming.
That is despite the winner between Anthony Joshua, 32, and Oleksandr Usyk, 35, offering the perfect chance to unify the belts.
But Arum responded: “He can say things, and he says them sincerely and believes them for the moment, but he’s not signing a contract that it’s his last fight.
“I think on second thoughts when he sees what’s out there like a Joshua fight or an Usyk fight; he might stick around.
“He’s not going to stick around to fight a secondary opponent.
“If there’s another big fight out there, he will, in my opinion, without question, take the fight.”
