Warren compares both Fury and Whyte's fights against Chisora
The promoter is confident his man will remain unbeaten
Frank Warren has backed Tyson Fury to beat Dillian Whyte if they meet in a WBC mandatory defence.
Whyte won his WBC interim championship from Alexander Povetkin earlier this year, but had to pull out of an October 30 fight against Otto Wallin with a shoulder injury.
That has led to speculation that he will finally be able to move straight to a mandatory challenge of Fury, who beat Deontay Wilder for a second time to defend his belt earlier in the month.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman explained that he anticipates Whyte being given the nod for a mandatory match-up with Fury next year, with an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk most likely delayed by a 2022 rematch with Anthony Joshua and the Ukrainian.
Speaking to IFL TV, Warren – Fury’s co-promoter – is confident his man will win.
"I think he'll do a job on him. I just look at the form line. I look at Dillian Whyte fighting Derek Chisora twice. I think the first fight Chisora nicked it, but the decision was given to Dillian," he said.
"The second fight, Derek was winning that fight till Dillian pulled it out the bag and done what he had to do, which was a good finish and he did that.
"Then I look at what Tyson did with Derek Chisora. I mean, that was a better Derek Chisora. That was a younger Derek Chisora. For me, Derek didn't win a second of any round.
"Going into that fight I fancied Derek would give him a real problem and I fancied Derek may beat him, but Tyson done an absolute job on him."
Warren praised his fighter, looking back over his years in the ring.
"It's strange with Tyson, he's like a 10-year overnight sensation. He's done everything that's been asked with him and he's done it in different ways," he said.
"When you look at what he did with Klitschko, it was an out and out boxing lesson in the other guy's backyard.
"Then he's been to the States now and beat, again, the man in three entirely different types of fights against Deontay Wilder.
"All exciting, that's how adaptable he is. He's an unbelievable boxer Tyson, unbelievable fighter, unbelievable brawler when he wants to be."
