Whyte Labels Wilder As A Coward

Dillian Whyte feels that Deontay Wilder took a rematch with Tyson Fury on February 22nd instead of fighting him for the WBC world heavyweight championship.

Taking to social media, Whyte claimed that not only has Wilder “successfully” avoided his “official #1 ranked challenger for over 800 days,” but held the distinction of being the holder of the “World’s Biggest Coward” championship. a play on Wilder holding the World Boxing Council’s world heavyweight championship.

Whyte’s other superlatives about  Wilder included “Coward,” “Chicken,” “Yellow-livered hillbilly.”

“It would be a tough fight because he is quite agile with awkward movement. I would expect a tough fight but I believe I can knock Wilder out,” Whyte said of a potential fight with Wilder. “People might laugh but I believe I can get to him, and knock him out.

“It wouldn’t be a fight where I would jab my way in. I’d run at him in the first round and start brawling and, if I get chinned, then so be it.”

“I don’t know what to say about Tyson Fury,” Whyte told Sky Sports of Wilder’s February 22nd opponent.  “He’s a smart businessman – he came back and fought two nobodies, talked his way into the Wilder fight and did alright, and made a lot of money by fighting in WWE.

“He’s awkward and a big guy but I believe I could beat him. You’ve got to target Fury’s body, and pressure him. When Otto Wallin pressured him it caused a lot of problems.”
