Teddy Atlas has warned Tyson Fury ahead of his upcoming Heavyweight Championship bout against Dillian Whyte.

'The Gypsy King' is set for his second title defense on April 23rd against Dillian Whyte. Ahead of the fight, Fury has emerged as a massive favorite over his opponent and is looking to make a quick night out.

The Brit has managed to successfully tame Deontay Wilder in his previous fights and has seemingly less things to worry about when he takes on 'The Body Snatcher'.

However, the sport of boxing has proven time and time again that anything can happen when two fighters step inside the squared circle. Speaking on the same, Teddy Atlas recently advised Fury not to take 'The Body Snatcher' lightly, or else he might be in for a rude awakening.

During a recent episode of his podcast, THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas, he said:

"He [Fury] better not be sleeping on him [Whyte]. A lot of people are sleeping on Dillian Whyte, a lot of people, they are, and you know what? The one person that better not be is Fury. He better not be and his people around him better not be letting him sleep on this guy because if he does, he might wake up to a nightmare."
