Who won the battle between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte?
The heavyweight battle between WBC champion Tyson Fury and mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte is going to be one explosive bout. The two heavyweight boxers pack a punch and have the kind of styles that could potentially give each other fits.
Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury has the ability to switch things up with his approach to the game. He could aim for an aggressive pressuring style or he could fight on the outside. Based on the kind of fight that Dillian Whyte will likely bring to the table, you can be sure that Fury will heavily rely on his jab. His jab can easily disrupt Whyte’s rhythm and throw him off his game. That jab coupled with his heavy reliance on feints can completely take Whyte out of his game.
Dillian Whyte
Dillian Whyte on the other hand will have to look to get on the inside. His hooks are extremely powerful and could give Fury fits in an inside fight. Of course in order to get there he’ll need to be diligent with his jab and cut off the ring. A pressuring jab, getting his head off the center line then punishing the body with hooks should prove to be an effective approach to breaking down Fury.
