Tommy Fury predicts Tyson's win over Dillian Whyte will be one of his easiest

Tommy Fury has predicted his brother Tyson will beat Dillian Whyte in one of the easiest fights of his career.

Fury and Whyte's WBC title fight was made official today as 'The Bodysnatcher' finally signed his contract just hours before the deadline.

The fight will take place at Wembley Stadium on April 23 as Fury looks to make the second defence of his world title since winning it two years ago.

The heavyweight champion, who has begun a social media blackout to concentrate on his preparations, would rank a win over Whyte as the sixth-best of his career.

And Tommy thinks his brother will prove that Whyte is levels below him when they meet in the ring.

"In this game there's levels to it, that's just the top end and the bottom end of it in boxing and Dillian Whyte just isn't on Tyson's level," he told Sky Sports.

"I think this will be one of Tyson's easiest fights because when you go from Deontay Wilder who can put your lights out in one second, one punch, then you go over to Dillian Whyte who's not always looked the best.

"He's not always been up there, it's took him a while to get this title shot. he's got a few miles on the clock himself, he's had a few bad knockouts.

"I just don't see him posing any threat but again, it's heavyweight boxing anything can happen. As far as being the best and ruling the division, Tyson's that man and he will do for however long he wants to."

Tommy was scheduled to fight Jake Paul in December last year, but was forced out of the fight due to a chest infection and broken rib.

Now fully recovered from his illness and injury, the Love Island star is hoping to fight on the undercard of his brother's world title fight in April.

"I think I'm looking to get a run out on Tyson's undercard next, that's the plan moving forward. Then we'll try set that fight up back end of the year," he said.

Paul is refusing to reschedule a fight with Tommy after his withdrawal last year, but the Brit thinks Paul has nobody else to face.

"I've put that out there countless times, I'm not the issue here. If the man wanted to fight we'd have a rescheduled date by now," he added.

"I do think the fight is still there as he's not daft, who else is he going to fight? He's got nobody else to fight. This fight is the biggest fight for him to take at the minute and he knows that full well."
