What time and TV channel is Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte on tonight?

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte clash in front of 94,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium tonight.

The Gypsy King defends his WBC world heavyweight title against the Brixton fighter, who was last seen in action when gaining revenge against Alexander Povetkin last year.

Fury has been hoping for a fight with Anthony Joshua for a number of years now, but that bout won't be happening anytime soon.

The pair were expected to meet last summer, but the fight fell through after Deontay Wilder won his arbitration case for a third fight with Fury before Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury's brother Tommy is among the fighters in action on the undercard, while Kurt Walker fights in his second professional bout, but unfortunately that contest will not be televised live.

Quotes corner

Tyson Fury: "I’m so happy to be back here (in the UK) fighting at Wembley Stadium.

“Respect to Dillian Whyte and his team, proper professional men, and we’re going to give you a real fight.

“Don’t doubt us, we’re going to put a show on like no other before.

“It’s going to be a war, don’t worry about that.”

Dillian Whyte: “Fury’s style is boring. Now he’s a bit more exciting and in his last few fights he was able to stand and trade with Wilder.

“Wilder is dangerous but not that good, so Fury could stay in the pocket and outwork him and outhustle him, because Wilder didn’t do anything up close apart from throw that big right hand from range.

“People have been saying ‘Tyson Fury, he’s exciting’. No he’s not, he beat up Deontay Wilder three times. Three years prior, no one cared about Tyson Fury fights. The fights were boring.”

Betting odds

Tyson Fury win: 1/6

Dillian Whyte win: 4/1
