1. Furys kryptonite is body punches, Whyte has deadly body punches and will target the body. Fury himself once said the way to beat him is by targeting the body and ‘chopping down the tree’.
2. You can only judge a fighter by his last fight and fury in his last fight looked terrible. He looked sluggish, slow, his feet movement was non existent and he was just walking into punches, compared to whyte who looked great and dominated and knocked out a man who previously knocked him out.
3. Furys change of style. This is the most important one. People who say ‘fury will just do to whyte what he did to Chisora’ are overlooking the fact that fury is not that fighter anymore. He has completely changed his style now. He’s not the slick and move boxer, he’s now the come forward brawler and this will play into Whytes hands. Fury is no longer hard to hit, he no longer has a solid defence plus he’s been put down multiple times now, if wilder can put him down then Whyte definitely can. And Whyte will not go swinging away once he has fury down, he will be methodical and calculated.
4. Whytes mind games. Whyte will not mentally break down before or during the fight like wilder did. He’s a lot stronger and will not be phased by furys mind games. Whytes mind games of his own seem to have been rattling fury lately.
5. The infamous sparring. Whyte and fury have sparred in the past and apparently Whyte was said to have put fury down and gave fury a bit of a beating. Whether this is true or not who knows BUT several people who were there including peter fury said that whyte was giving fury a rough time and definitely had a lot of success.
6. Fury simply isn’t as good as people make him out to be. He definitely has a lot of heart and a warriors mind but his skills are on a low level, he looks awkward and clumsy when you watch him try to box. Whyte is a seasoned veteran and will know what to expect, he knows he can land and he will.
