Fury will be fighting someone other than Deontay Wilder for the first time in over two and a half years in Whyte, who has defeated several contenders to reach the mandatory challenger spot but exchanged knockouts with Alexander Povetkin in his two most recent fights.
Whyte seems to be tailor made for Fury, as Whyte will need to chug forward and try to land a roundhouse right as his only real chance at victory, which plays straight into the strengths of the larger and more techinically sound Fury.
At one time, Whyte was a volume puncher that could throw sixty or seventy punches a round and that Dillian Whyte might have been a much stiffer challenge for Tyson Fury.
Instead, we could have a fight with some memorable exchanges with a possible spectacular knockout with plenty of grabbing and holding in between as a favorite tactic of Fury's is to grab the smaller fighter, wear him down by leaning his weight on the opponent until the middle of the fight when Fury begins to speed up the pace.
It should be an interesting fight and it better be for the pay per view price as the undercard might be the least intriguing undercard ever.
That is quite a statement, when you consider how many terrible undercards have been part of pay per view offerings.
