Dillian Whyte is one of the legions of people who want former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to play dirty pool, breaking the rules by demolishing WBA, WBC and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk in eight days in his rematch at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
Fans urge Fury to cheat against Usyk
People who want Fury to win are much better advised to cheat against Usyk, which is worrying. If Tyson doesn’t have the talent to beat Usyk, why do his fans and compatriots want him to break the rules?
What does it say about their moral code of ethical behavior? The basic problem is that Fury is not good enough to beat Usyk, and he is not going to help roughing him. Does Fury really want to be seen as Turki Alalshikh who has to resort to crude tactics to beat his former conqueror?
Young Briton Whyte wants Fury to use the same tactics that worked for him in his victory over former cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham on April 20, 2013. That was a long, long time ago when Fury was 24 and much thinner than him. today at 36 and looks closer to 50.
I get the impression that Fury is so desperate to win that he will be absolutely relentless in the ring. I hope the referee is not partial and will do his job to penalize and disqualify Fury if necessary if it goes medieval, treating the fight as a 5th century Dark age battle
Usyk will not let Fury Bully
Physically, the “Gypsy King” is not the spry, mobile and young fighter he was 11 years ago when he beat Cunningham and scored a 7th round knockout to hold and strike. Usyk isn’t going to let Fury use the same approach against him, and there’s no chance the referee is going to stand back and let that happen. There will be too much of a negative reaction.
“He needs to be aggressive and try to clear him. (Fury) needs to fight him like he fought Deontay Wilder the second time and Steve Cunningham,” said Dillian Whyte to talkSport BoxingGiving his view on how Tyson Fury should fight unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk to be successful in his rematch on December 21.
“When Steve Cunningham took him down, Fury got up and got physical and started pushing him and started handling him and started abusing him,” Whyte continued. “It (Fury) could lose a couple of points, but what does it matter? Just go there. He needs to try the pain.”
