Dillian Whyte had journalists in stitches as he dropped a ‘that’s what she said’ joke during a press conference ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury .
Talking about the upcoming fight, the emcee said: “You’ve been trying so very hard, for so very long to climb to the top of the mountain…”
At which point, Whyte cut in to say: “That’s what she said..."

The cheeky comment left Whyte, the audience and even Fury laughing.
And that wasn’t the only laugh that was raised - later in the press conference talking about sparring together in the past, Fury said: "Sparring is sparring. We were there working together, and we were good friends.
“We went for a drink together, we ate together, we slept together.”

At which point Whyte hastily replied: “Not slept together!”
The pair came face-to-face at today's press conference, just days ahead of their bout at Wembley Stadium in London this Saturday (23 April).
The fight will see 33-year-old Fury defending his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte, 34, with a whopping 94,000 fans expected to turn up to watch.

Fury is the favourite to win the fight, according to Betfair’s current odds, which have Fury at 1/6 to win, Whyte at 7/2 and a draw at 25/1.
However the fight ends up, Fury appears to be set on retiring after it - saying he wants to leave the sport ‘healthy’ and ‘in one piece’.
Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing Insider this week, he said: “There’s nothing for me to achieve.
“I’ve won every belt in the world that there is to win. I’ve broke all records.

“No-one in my era has ever been lineal champion, only me.
“I’ve won every single belt there is to win in the sport and I’m getting out healthy, in one piece and undefeated.”
