Dillian White made sure to remind everyone that two men are the headliners at Wembley on April 23, while explaining his media silence before this month’s fight for the British title against Tyson Fury.
The mandatory WBC contender chose not to attend last month’s ticketing event and remained silent on social media until earlier this week when he posted on Instagram.
This is as enticing as the long-awaited shot for the Brixton title, which knocked out Alexander Povetkin in the fourth round of their rematch last month to face Fury.
“It’s a business,” White told reporters. “This is not a Tyson Fury show. Everyone tells Tyson Fury this, Tyson Fury that. This battle sold out for me and Tyson Fury, Tyson Fury fought Wilder, he’s a big superstar. It’s not just the Tyson Fury show, it’s the Tyson Fury and Dillian White show, so some things need to be done right.
“I don’t dance to anyone’s tune, I’m a warrior, we can dance together, but it can’t be one-way traffic.
“I am a disciplined person and I have learned to be disciplined over the years. Okay, do you want me to do things? That’s cool, I’m for it, I’m a professional, I’ve had six or seven pay-per-view shows, and I’ve worked hard on all of them, watching my opponents and dealing with them properly.
“When these guys try to rob me and treat me like it’s a Tyson Fury show, they have to fix some things. At the end of the day, I’m a professional, so here I am. here and ready. “

Back to 2021, when Dillian White won her rematch with Alexander Povetkin in a convincing style
White cites previous cases in which a potential battle with Fury failed as a reason to choose not to speak in the cumulative clash this month.
“You reach an agreement to make the ball spin, but there are still major problems that need to be secured and sorted out, and then when people try to play games and get confused, you have to control what you can. you control, “he added.”
“What I can control is my actions, not what Fury is doing. So that’s what I did.”
Now that he has arrived, White says it would mean “everything” for him to become world champion.
“I am a person who, as a child, without a future, without education, without a family, I have survived,” he said.
“I’ve been on the street since I was a child. For someone like me, this comes out of nowhere, I have no sports experience, no support, no support, I haven’t even played sports at school. For someone like me, coming from where I came from and being a world heavyweight champion is a real inspiration.
“This is someone from a boxing family. I was a street thug who could knock people out. I have no illusions, I know what I am, I know what I’m wearing.”
Fury: I will be St. Tyson!
Fury is back in action for the first time since retaining his WBC belt with a knockout victory in the 11th round to complete his exciting trilogy against Deontay Wilder in October.
The 33-year-old had previously offered to retire from boxing after his fight against White, although he insisted on Thursday that he was looking no further than defending his belts after returning to Britain.
“To be honest with you, I only think about Dillian White, I don’t think about retirement,” he said. “This will come after the battle, we will think about what will happen and what the future holds for me.
“I have a huge task at Dillon right now. Many people underestimate Dillian White, but not me. I give him the respect he deserves throughout the training camp.
“I do not underestimate this man, I respect him, as I did to Diontay Wilder and everyone else.
This is the first match of the Briton in the United Kingdom since 2018, with 94,000 visitors to Wembley, which should go down in history as the largest match in Europe.
“What I’ve heard is that after this battle they will make me the patron saint of England, it will be St. Tyson instead of St. George!” He joked.
Fury, who ranked White as the top five in the heavyweight division in the world, cited his path to mental health in recent years and stressed his intention to enjoy every moment of the ring.
“I’m obsessed with time and time,” he said. “I must accept every second as a blessing. I am blessed to be at this stage of my career and life.
“Once it’s over, you can never turn the clock back, so I’m happy. I love to enjoy every second of this ring. I want them to fight all day. I’m really happy when I’m in the boxing ring, I get hit in the face! “
