Boxing great Evander Holyfield has given his prediction for the world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.
The two Brits face one another at Wembley Stadium on April 23 with Fury’s WBC and RING magazine belts on the line.
Holyfield, a former undisputed champion at cruiserweight and heavyweight, gave fans some thrilling encounters during his career taking on the biggest and toughest challenges around. Speaking to The Sun about Fury v Whyte, the 59-year-old said: “I think Dillian’s got the energy to give him problems, but I think Tyson Fury is clever. He is just a clever fighter, and I don’t think Whyte can beat him.
“Even though Tyson Fury is a clever boxer and proved to do the right things, all the years that I fought I realised that who is willing to do anything stands a chance. So, that would make this fight different.
“You can say, ‘Tyson Fury is a better boxer’ but when you have a guy that is self-motivated and takes chances then anytime a person takes chances the person has just as great chances to win.”
