Carl Frampton believes it's a 'bit disrespectful' to say Dillian Whyte has 'more than a puncher’s chance' against Tyson Fury
A record-breaking 94,000 crowd is expected at Wembley Stadium for the bout, where Whyte will finally get his world title shot some five years after becoming the WBC’s number one contender.
But the former two-weight world champion is not anticipating an upset, with Fury backed to extend his unbeaten record. “A shorter, more squat guy, aggressive, a hooker who is a bit wild. I think that’s Dillian Whyte, isn’t it? He’s got more than a puncher’s chance, I think it’s a bit disrespectful to say that.
“But it’s hard for me to see anything other than a Tyson Fury victory and I think that he may stop him late on.”Fury is coming off a legendary trilogy with Deontay Wilder where he showed a variety of strengths and gameplans to get the job done.“If I’m the coach, you’re telling him to box him. Go back to the tactics we’ve seen in the first Wilder fight, although it was a draw – everybody knows that he won that fight – I think if it was me, that would be the tactics you would use,” he said.
