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 won the Ring Magazine belt, only me.
