John Fury, Tyson Fury's father, says Dillian Whyte has 'bigger fish to fry'

John, TYSON FURY’s father, has thrown cold water on a Battle of Britain with Dillian Youte - insisting that his son has 'bigger fry to fry'.

If Otto Wallin, his former sparring partner, wins this month, the Gypsy King could be facing the Brixton banger for his second defense of his WBC title.

John, the coach and outspoken father, wants his son to fight in an undisputed title bout with Oleksandr Usyk, new unified champion.

Sky Sports quoted him as saying: "I don’t want to speak about Whyte. He’s not in Tyson’s class.

"Good luck to the lad. He'll get his shot. But at the end, there are bigger fish to fry than Whyte.

John insists his son will beat Usyk, the slick southpaw who defeated Anthony Joshua's second reign of unification champion.

He said, "If Tyson went out on a regular basis, sharpened his tools properly, and got that ring rust out the way," then nobody could touch Tyson.

"At the moment he's boxing between 50-60 percent of who he is.

"What is to stop him being undisputed, some blown up cruiserweight from Ukraine?"

Oleksandr Usyk has no chance against Tyson with no ring rust and a fair shot at the job.

"The hard facts are, Tyson is unbeatable at this time, he proved it.

"He can stand up to the most powerful puncher in the world, on half-mast. Get up and win the fight.

"If my son were to listen to me, it would be Usyk or Nothing... but he doesn't listen to me anyway, so it's up Tyson!"

After his incredible 11th-round victory over Deontay wilder, Fury, 33 seemed not to be concerned about unifying the division.

He said, "We will be seeing, I just earned a break."

"I've been home for two weeks in the last six months, so I'm going to celebrate this victory.

"I am the biggest dog in this division. At 277lbs, he was the largest dog in history.

"We'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings."
