Fury and Whyte is set to be a spectacle of the ages when the two meet

Exclusively live on talkSPORT, the two heavyweights are set to go head-to-head on April 23 at Wembley Stadium, where Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title.

And although most have Fury as a certainty to retain his belt, Bellew said it's not as straightforward as that.

"The fight is a hard fight [for Fury]," he said.

"I know people want to dress it up where it's not and want to say it's a walk in the park for Tyson Fury...

"Believe you me, Dillian Whyte is a problem for any heavyweight in the world, any heavyweight.

"He's big, he's strong, he's brave and he's durable, he's a problem.

"So it's going to be a hard, hard night for Tyson."
