TYSON FURY sat down with Dillian Whyte's POSTER at their first press conference.
Despite his opponent's failure to attend the Wembley presser on April 23, the Gypsy King was still in his boisterous mood.
Tyson Fury faced a POSTER from Dillian Whyte, his future opponent
Whyte decided to remain in Portugal's training camp ahead of the all-Brit blockbuster.
Fury, however, was determined to have the stare-off tradition - even though it was with Whyte's paper version.
Fury stood up after the press conference was over and asked: "Shall the face-toface?"
"It's okay, I will do it this way. "I will win this stare-down."
The crowd yelled, "Look at Tyson in the eyes!"
The undefeated Morecambe mauler stared at his poster of the future opponent.

Frank Warren, 33 years old, was then invited by the 33-year-old to "get in between fighters", which the legendary promoter obliged.
It was an exciting presser before the heavyweight fight.
Warren called Whyte 'disgraceful' and 'unprofessional' for his absence, while the lawyer representing the challenger has claimed that his silence during big fights is due to the treatment he received from the rival promoter.
Fury announced that he had created a new nickname, 'FRILLIANWHYTE KNICKERS' for his British rival. He also promised to win on St George's Day in honor of the great dragon slayer.
The champ announced that he would RETIRE following the fight and will be content with "PS150m in his bank account".
He had previously revealed a five-fight strategy before his famous trilogy win over Deontay wilder in October.
The semi-final against the Brixton ace on April 23 is expected to be the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk to determine the WBC, IBF, and WBO belts as well as legendary undisputed status.
