According to Dillian Whyte, the coach of BOXING legends Riddick and Evander Holyfield are "on a different world" to Tyson Fury.
Fury will fight Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23, with his WBC title on the line.

Although the Gypsy King claims to be the greatest heavyweight of his time, he was informed that he is not up to par with champions from the past.
Via The Star: Whyte's trainer Xavier Miller stated that "The era which I like the most is towards the end of both the 80s, and the 90s."
"The likes Evander Holyfield or Riddick bowe. Technically, it seemed like they were on another planet.
"It is amazing how much class can be seen if I watch Holyfield against Riddick Bowe, then Wilder v Fury.
He's not at that level. He gets a lot praise and a lot hype. He can box very well, but he is still a formidable opponent. We're going to beat he."
Deontay Wilder was stopped by Fury (33) in his last two fights. But Miller said Whyte (33), is a completely different animal.

"Whyte is versatile and can do many things in the ring. He is aggressive, powerful in both hands, strong counter puncher, strong body puncher so Tyson would have plenty to deal with.
"But Tyson is very tall and can box at a long distance. Since I was head trainer, it's been a fight that I wanted to see for Dillian.
Miller supported the decision to hold the fight at Wembley. The event saw 85,000 tickets sold in the first hour.
He stated: "The fight makes sense in the UK. You want the British fans the chance to see the historic fight. This will be a historical moment for Dillian.
"He has not yet boxed for a title in the world. You'd love to do it at home, so that's what you did.
"If you have to travel, you must travel. That's the truth. But, ideally, our first choice is to fight in a huge stadium in the UK."
