Heavyweight boxers Hughie Fury and Dillian Whyte are both aiming to climb back to the top of the division and improve their world rankings after a period away from the spotlight.
Ahead of his recent fight, Fury mentioned discussions about a possible match-up with Whyte in Galway. However, Whyte has responded, seemingly surprised by these claims.
Fury, cousin of Tyson Fury, had a period of inactivity but has been active recently, fighting three times in 2024. He is looking to face bigger names and mentioned Whyte as a potential opponent for a fight in Ireland in July.
In response to these rumors, Whyte took to social media to express his amusement, suggesting he was unaware of any such fight plans and joking that Fury might be mistaken.
Whyte has been out of major fights since 2023 and had a recent fight cancellation due to injury. Fury, meanwhile, continues to be active in the ring.
It appears that talk of a Whyte vs. Fury fight in Galway may be premature, as Whyte himself seems to have been caught off guard by the suggestion.
