World heavyweight showdown

Fury tickles Whyte ahead of world heavyweight showdown

Fury's WBC title will be on the line on Saturday when the 33-year-old 'Gypsy King' faces former sparring partner, fellow-Briton and top-ranked contender Whyte in front of a 94,000 sellout crowd.

Promoter Frank Warren predicted a classic night of boxing and the champion said people under-estimated how good it was going to be.

"He's a good fighter. He's a good, strong, solid man. He's big, he's strong, he's tough, he's game, he's got a good punch on him, he's knocked out a lot of men," Fury said as he and Whyte faced a packed media audience.
