Tyson Fury hosted a press conference today in London - but Dillian Whyte, his opponent, didn't bother
Today, the first press conference for the mouthwatering scrap was held at the national stadium - with one exception.
33-year-old Whyte has not resigned from his exhausting Portugal training camp in order to attend today's event.
His lawyer claimed that Warren's treatment of him was the reason he withheld his big-fight silence. Warren won the PS30million purse and the right to hold the fight.
Warren, however, has condemned the actions of the Brixton brawler and described his behavior as'madness.
Warren stated, "I don’t want to bore everyone, the WBC made it fight, we went for purse bids, and won."
"We met criteria, which he did, and he signed a contract at the last minute. Now he is trying renegotiate. We had a period of time to agree terms.

"I've never seen a fighter refuse to attend a press conference this large. He is receiving eight times the amount Tyson received against Klitschko.
It is disgraceful and not professional not to show up, Tyson would do it, he has done this in the past. It's madness.
Jeffrey Benz, a lawyer and business advisor, recently stated to SunSport that Dillian Whyte would be more than happy to attend the ticket-launch event. However, Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions was unable to agree on his most basic requirements. This is a common situation in boxing.
"But they didn’t even give us notice when and where this one-sided shindig would take place. It is truly amazing.
"We are dealing here with dinosaurs. They offered $41m to fight, but they are scattered all over the place. They don't even meet Dillian's requirements, which are completely normal and not unusual.
