Tyson Fury's eagerly-awaited return to the boxing scene in the UK is right around the corner, with Dillian Whyte lying in wait.
The WBC mandated fight has been in the making for a while but had encountered significant delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions.
However, an agreement was finally reached and the countdown to the fight is on - which will mark Fury 's first fight in the UK since 2019.
The fight also marks the final hurdle for Fury before a likely heavyweight unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.
Here's everything you need to know about the bout against Whyte.
Where is the fight?
Fury's return to a fight in the UK is a huge event and, therefore, a stadium was always going to be required.
The Gypsy King's camp had reserved an end of March date at Cardiff's Principality Stadium but, although still a contender, it's Wembley Stadium that is expected to play host to the bout.
The home of English football has played to numerous fights in the past but Fury has never fought there, though he has competed at Wembley Arena.
When is the fight?
An official date for the bout is yet to be announced but it's widely understood that the bout will take place at the end of April.
In fact, the date of April 23rd has been heavily mentioned - with Eddie Hearn even confirming that Connor Benn's fight, scheduled for that date, would be moved in the event of a clash.
How can I get tickets?
Once again, official details on tickets will be announced in due course and it's likely to be a huge sell-out - with tickets anticipated to be extremely hot.
Fans should be sure to keep to the licensed ticket channels to avoid paying over the odds for tout prices.
