Tyson Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum taunts Dillian Whyte after Alexander Povetkin defeat and predicts Anthony Joshua is next
Tyson Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum could not resist sticking the knife in after Dillian Whyte’s shock defeat on Saturday night.
The British heavyweight was knocked out cold by 40-year-old Russian Alexander Povetkin at Matchroom Fight Camp.
“Pulev will KO Joshua next. London Bridges are falling.”
Whyte has a rematch clause with Povetkin and will enact it, according to Eddie Hearn.
His chances of becoming a world champion any time soon appear to have vanished, even if he can win the second fight.
Andy Ruiz Jr also showed no mercy in a video following Whyte’s defeat.
The Mexican-American said: "I was so happy that Whyte got his a*** knocked the f*** out.
"You know what, because he doesn't have respect for the fighters - that's what gets me p***ed off."
The former heavyweight champion also tweeted simply a crying-with-laughter emoji.
