23/04/2022

WBC and Ring Magazine champion Tyson Fury weighed in 12 pounds lighter than his previous fight for tomorrow's blockbuster heavyweight bout against Dillian Whyte at Wembley.

The two Britons will fight in front of 94,000 fans - a post-war British record - with Fury making a second defence of the title he won against Deontay Wilder in February 2020.

Fury - who has won 31 bouts, with 22 knockouts, and drawn one - has suggested he will retire this weekend regardless of the outcome.

Whyte is challenging for a world title for the first time, having won 28 bouts, with 19 stoppages.

The fight program will start at 6am tomorrow.
