Tyson Fury reveals plan for Dillian Whyte fight after Dubai footage emerges

Tyson Fury has flown to Dubai to train or a few days before returning back to Morecambe to start a more rigorous camp in the build-up towards his return to the ring in April.

The Gypsy King is finally set to face Dillian Whyte for the WBC championship after the fight was mandated.

The upcoming fight has encountered significant delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions.

However, an agreement was finally reached and the countdown to the fight is on - which will be Fury 's first in the UK since 2019.

And the 33-year-old is now in Dubai on a short break before returning home to begin his camp properly.

Whilst out in the middle east, Fury has shown off his impressive punching speed.

Asked about his game plan to face Whyte, Fury told Dubai Eye 103.8: "Whatever I feel like on the night really.

"I don’t pay these bums too much attention. Any style, I can definitely beat Whyte.

"Even if I put one hand behind my back and one foot off the floor, I’ll still beat him."

The bout looks likely to be held at Wembley Stadium on April 23 after Frank Warren won purse bids to promote the event.

Should Fury defeat Whyte, he's likely to face the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 a rematch of their first bout in which the Ukrainian came out victorious - which would unify the belts in a fight in the summer of 2022.
