Tyson Fury has backed Frank Warren's comments about not wanting British judges for his upcoming heavyweight fight with Dillian Whyte. It comes after the controversy surrounding Josh Taylor's win over Jack Catterall.
Taylor won on a split decision in the bout, despite Chorley's Catterall landing more hits in all but one of the rounds in the light-welterweight world title fight - with almost every analyst watching to state that Catterall had won the fight.

The heavyweight blockbuster between Fury and Whyte will take place on Saturday, April 23 at Wembley Stadium in what promises to be one of British boxing's biggest heavyweight clashes of all-time. The WBC had mandated Fury to defend his title against his fellow Brit but there was a significant delay with developments, with purse bids delayed on four occasions and Whyte waiting until the final hours before a deadline to submit his contract with the governing body this week.
