Tyson Fury will be going for his 32nd professional win on Saturday when he takes on Dillian Whyte in the defence of his WBC belt at Wembley Stadium. It will be the first time the world heavyweight champion will touch gloves with a fellow Englishman since his 2014 win over Derek Chisora at the Excel Arena in London. It’s also his first fight on home soil since 2018.
Many believe this may be his last bout in England with any future fights likely to take place abroad. Around 90,000 are expected to be in attendance for Fury's fight against Whyte, who has been waiting for a shot at a major title for a number of years.
The planning of the fight so far has been nothing like plain sailing. After purse bid deadlines were pushed back multiple times, Fury’s promoters, Bob Arum and Frank Warren, won the rights to promote the contest with a record fee of around £31million.
