Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has sent a message of support to Tyson Fury ahead of his heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte.
The Rock has previously revealed that he’s a great admirer of the Gypsy King. In truth, you wouldn’t be surprised to see the pair starring in a Hollywood film together, especially if tonight really is the final time Fury will fight.
There appears to be a blossoming friendship and an enormous amount of respect between the pair, both of which were evident once again as The Rock took to social media to wish Fury luck for the big fight tonight.

Fury will be defending a heavyweight title on home turf for the very first time. He’ll be doing it in front of a packed-out Wembley Stadium while battling a very dangerous compatriot of his, Dillian Whyte.
It would be the perfect way for Fury to bow out of the sport, were he to be victorious, but the promise of a fight for the undisputed status later in the year may well be enough to keep him interested.
We shall see…
