'We ate together, slept together…' – Tyson Fury left red-faced after gaffe about close relationship with Dillian Whyte

TYSON FURY was left red-faced after a hilarious gaffe in which he claimed he and Dillian Whyte 'slept together' at a training camp.

The two Brits came face-to-face on Wednesday for a press conference ahead of Saturday's heavyweight title fight at Wembley.


But it was Fury who slipped up when reflecting on their time together as training camp buddies over a decade ago.

Fury said: "We were good friends together, we went out for a drink, we ate together, we slept together."

This prompted howls of laughter from those gathered as Whyte shot Fury a bemused look.

He quickly yelled: "We didn't sleep together bro! We slept in a similar surrounding but not together bro!"

"He wants to rob the fans out of a fight. John Fury is a real idiot."

Fury added: "I just prevented a big ruckus on stage.

"People want a big ruckus at press conferences, they want screaming and shouting and punching.

"Listen, let the two boxers do a fight, and enjoy it.
