Current WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury faces Dillian Whyte on April 23, with an all-English showdown set to cap off a blockbuster evening of boxing at Wembley Stadium. Fury, who still stands undefeated after 32 fights, will look to end Whyte's hopes in front of a sell crowd in the capital.
Whyte, 33, has lost a mere two of his 30 heavyweight clashes so far with defeats against Anthony Joshua in 2015 and Alexander Povetkin in 2020. The self-proclaimed body snatcher has since responded by beating the Russian Povetkin last year with a fourth round TKO.
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson had been added to the undercard to fight German veteran Christian Hammer at Wembley Stadium. But the Top Rank prospect has now revealed that fight will not be taking place.

Anderson, who has a perfect 11-0 record, said in a post on Instagram: “To all my fans and supporters, I would like to personally apologize, because I will no longer be able to fight on the Fury vs Whyte undercard due to injury I rushed this camp and now I have to go into hiding and will be back 10x stronger.
“Yours truly, the Big Baby”.
One bout already given the green light on April 23, is that of Lancashire born friend of Fury, Isaac Lowe. The 28-year-old was defeated last time out by Mexican Luis Alberto Lopez at York Hall, with the Morecambe man downed three times during seven rounds.
Lowe has spoken of his admiration for Fury previously stating: "I've known Tyson since I was eight or nine years old. I used to run around terrorising him when we were little and we've always had an incredibly close bond.''
