Dillian Whyte has had a long wait for his shot at the world heavyweight championship and now finally gets his shot at Wembley on Saturday night. However, his winnings will be subject to an 80:20 split with Fury as the current WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion, something Whyte has taken issue to in the build up.
The Londoner missed last month's press conference and other promotional events, seemingly in protest over the fight's promotion but has arrived in his home city for the fight. The 34-year-old is set to receive £5.5 million for the fight in comparison to roughly £40 million for Fury.
Frank Warren won the purse bids for the fight, beating Eddie Hearn's £23 million bid with a bid of approximately £30 million. Anthony Joshua knocked-out Whyte in 2015 on the way to a World Championship fight at Wembley in 2017 against Wladimir Klitschko but said in an interview with iFL TV that he was happy for a man who he describes as an 'enemy'.
