Tyson Fury has promised to deliver a ‘swift knockout’ when he faces Dillian Whyte, after the WBC ordered the mandatory fight between the two, reports the Independent.
Whyte was made the mandatory challenger after beating Alexander Povetkin in a rematch earlier this year, making him the number one contender to face Fury after the Gypsy King’s victory against Deontay Wilder in October.
