JERMAINE FRANKLIN claims sparring with Tyson Fury shows he won’t be “f***ing around” against Dillian Whyte.
The unbeaten American aims to wreck Whyte’s bid for a belated rematch with Anthony Joshua by toppling him at Wembley on November 26.
And he reckons going through his paces with WBC heavyweight king Fury plus fast-rising Londoner David Adeleye is the perfect preparation.
Franklin, 29, shared a picture on Twitter of himself with his two giant sparring partners.
Alongside was the menacing message: âIâm not f***ing around!
âThanks Tyson Fury and David Adeleye for letting me spar.
“The champ donât mess around and David is a beast. Time to catch another body Nov 26.
âMake sure you watch the fight on the DAZN and in UK, come to the fight.â
Fury knocked out Whyte with a stunning uppercut six rounds into their sell-out clash at Wembley in April this year.
But the Body Snatcher is desperate to beat Franklin to revive his bid for another lucrative all-British fight – against ex-world champ Joshua.

AJ stopped Whyte after seven rounds at the at the O2 Arena in December 2015.
But he said: âI canât wait to get into the ring and show the world that, when push comes to shove, I can get right back up in Wembley and remind everyone why I was WBC number one for over four years.
âAs an undefeated heavyweight, Franklin is a dangerous guy, but Iâm going to teach him quite a few lessons.
âMost importantly, Iâm going to teach him how to lose.â
