The long awaited fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte takes place at Wembley Stadium this evening (April 23rd), with the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles on the line. There will be 94,000 people under the famous Wembley arch - this would be a record for a European fight in the 21st century.
Whyte is the mandatory WBC challenger after establishing himself as the number one contender with the Mexico City based World Boxing Council. He beat Alexander Povetkin in a March 2021 rematch in Gibraltar after being beaten by the Russian fighter in August 2020 at the Matchroom Fight Camp organised by Eddie Hearn.
Fury, meanwhile, is the undefeated WBC and The Ring champion as well as being one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world after beating Deontay Wilder twice in their epic trilogy after drawing the first fight. Also on the card is Tommy Fury vs Daniel Bocianski, the younger brother of Tyson enters the ring for the first time since withdrawing from his December fight against Jake Paul.
