Dillian Whyte and Tyson Fury will finally meet in an explosive press conference... on Zoom

Dillian Whyte and TYSON FURY will trade verbal jabs TONIGHT at a virtual conference.

Whyte, a Brixton banger, skipped the pre-fight press conference to discuss his long-awaited grudge fight with Fury. This was in protest at his split of the PS31million purse.

The former sparring partners, 33, will exchange words via a virtual press conference tonight.

They will be joined by promoters Frank Warren, Bob Arum and others in a Zoom presser hosted at Top Rank.

One boxing fan responded to the news on Twitter: "Zoom?" Really? FFS is just a face-to-face meeting.

Another stated: "Virtual press conference?"

"Biggest fight in many years, and the press conference will be conducted via a Zoom call."

Another said, "We're still doing Zoom Press Conferences?" ?"

One person commented: "A Zoom press conference?" F**k me, what's the point haha

Another one said, "Finally."

Although Whyte didn't do any interviews before his fight with the Gypsy King, he broke his silence last week about the fight.

He tweeted, "I'm ready. I look forward to seeing everyone at @wembleystadium on the 23rd April. #LetsGooo!!! !"

Fury claimed Whyte's absence at their first presser was a blessing, as he would have laid him out there right then.

He stated that he didn't blame him for being absent today, as if he had been here, i'd probably have stretched him at the press conference.

"It's a good thing he's not there, otherwise I would be remanded to a London jail cell somewhere.

"The buildup to the fight will be spectacular because Tyson Fury against his shadow sells for certain. I will ensure that people are entertained.

"My personal message today to Dillian Whyte is: I will win the fight for England, and St George on St George's Day. We are now.
