Despite the back-and-forth on social media between both boxers, they were involved in a respectful press conference.
The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' even recalled their friendship as he claimed they used to eat, drink and sleep together.

However, Whyte's reaction to Fury's sleep claim caught him off guard as he produced a priceless reaction.
"Sparring is sparring. We were there working together, and we were good friends.
