DILLIAN WHYTE says he will make Lucas Browne “pay” after claiming the Aussie boxer called him an “orangutan”.
SunSport reported yesterday how a deal had been agreed for the two heavyweights to fight at London’s O2 Arena on March 24.
And Whyte can’t wait to get his hands on a man he calls a “scumbag”.
In an interview with ESPN, Whyte said: “He called me an ‘orangutan’ on Twitter and he’s going to pay for that.
“I’m not going to play the ‘racist’ card but if you want to behave in such a manner then I’ll treat you accordingly.
“Be a scumbag and I’ll treat you like a scumbag.
“Browne is a bully. I’ve been putting an end to bullies my whole life. You can tell from the way he walks and talks that he’s a bully and he’s going to pay.
“I expect him to try and be a bully. Bullies only know one way but sometimes they come up against people who refuse to be bullied. Browne must sleep. It’ll be like he’s taken too much Night Nurse.”
