".
One simple statement was: "Gorgeous."
After many years of waiting, Whyte will finally meet Fury, a fan favourite. The fight will take place in front of a sold-out crowd at Wembley Stadium.
The Brit, born in Jamaica, is currently preparing to face Portugal. He is putting all his efforts into securing the undisputed title.
Since the Battle of Britain confirmation, Whyte has been silent on the radio and refused to attend the pre-fight press conference.
Fury, WBC heavyweight champion, believes that his former training partner was quiet to ensure he didn’t get stiffed over his split of the PS31million purse. He’ll only pocket a paltry PS6m.
Queensbury Promotions was told by him: "I did say to him on Instagram a few month ago, every time I call you a bad name your percent will go down.
"He didn’t call me any bad names afterwards. He was so quiet that he didn't call me any bad names. When I told him, he did indeed go quiet."
"I believe 20 percent for him is fair. If he beats my opponent, he could win a [PS10million] possible.
"That's a lot more than his last fight, when he won PS250,000.
"That's seven-times more than I got to fight Wladimirklitschko."
"I was ten times larger than he was on that stage. He's got to be so grateful to me."
"If I were him, I'd send me gifts and stuff through mail.
