Fury was warned about Dillian Whyte’s long arms threat

Fury, 33 years old, is optimistic of winning the Battle of Britain on St George's Day, but Booth warned him that Whyte's "freakishly lengthy arms" may pose a problem.

Booth, David Haye’s former trainer, said to talkSPORT that he knew Dillian could pose questions about Tyson.

Tyson is unbeaten world heavyweight champion, and has overcome all obstacles.

"Dillian hasn’t done that, but he’s been knocked off his perch a few times.

"I believe the most interesting thing that will probably catch them out in the fight, is the length and strength of the arm of each man.

"Dillian has freakishly long arms for someone his height, and that's something he's benefited from throughout his career.

"Tyson Fury" - freakishly long arms, 6ft 9ins. He clearly has the reach advantage over Dillian.

"That's something Dillian isn't necessarily used too, but Tyson's also not used to having someone shorter than him but with long arms.

"I believe that's going to be a factor as well in the fight. It doesn't seem to be going the distance.

Eddie Hearn, Whyte's promoter, has warned Fury that he will not make it easy against him.

Hearn stated that Fury doesn't have the power of knocking out Whyte.

He also warned that Whyte would be victorious if they continue to trade blows until the end. Hearn predicts an 11th round knockout for his man.
