Tyson Fury interrupted Dillian Whyte’s live TV interview to plead for a return to boxing.
Fury defeated White in April 2022 in front of a then-record 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

But Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois smashed that figure when a historic 96,000 spectators turned up to watch their world title fight.
These included Fury, 36, and Whyte, 36, who shared a humorous moment on Sky Sports.
Whyte was blamed for clashing with his old rivals Fury and Dereck Chisora.
“We are all warriors at the end of the day and you learn mutual respect for the warriors you are in the ring with and the ones you shed blood with,” he said.
“A matter of mutual respect, if I had to compete against one of them tomorrow it would all be over, but today we are not competing, we are here as spectators and fans of the sport.”
Fury then appeared on screen shouting: “Bring back the Body Snatcher!
“Let him get back in the game. Let him get back, we need him! It’s a better place with the body snatchers out.”
White responded: “That’s right. See, that’s mutual respect, that’s what I like.”

The British star was due to rematch Joshua in August last year but returned no “adverse results” in a pre-match drug test.
It was later determined that a contaminated supplement had caused the finding, after which White was allowed to be retested.
The veteran returned in March with a win over 36-year-old Christian Hammer.
Those in attendance at Wembley on Saturday night saw Dubois stun A.J. with a stunning masterclass.
Joshua was knocked down several times before being knocked down in the fifth round.
