"Me and him are linked career-wise. I'd fight two, three times win, lose or draw. We have animosity and we bring something special out of each other."
Whyte has a kickboxing background whereas Browne, his upcoming opponent, fought eight times in mixed martial arts including once against current UFC champion Daniel Cormier.
"[Browne] has an unorthodox style," Whyte said after their face-off. "He doesn't box like a traditional boxer. I have to see what he's doing, adapt to it, and do I do.
"It's important to look good. He might underestimate my power, get tagged early and think: 'I won't get a knockout so I'll just go the distance'."
