Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte to fight at Wembley Stadium on April 24 for WBC heavyweight championship

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte are set to go toe-to-toe at Wembley Stadium on 24th April for the WBC heavyweight championship.

The two finally signed their contract to fight earlier this week after protracted negotiations, meaning the fascinating heavyweight title clash is on.

It will be Whyte's first world title opportunity after a long and frustrating wait, while it will be Fury's UK homecoming after emerging unbeaten through a riveting trilogy against Deontay Wilder.

The winner of Fury and Whyte would be well-positioned for an undisputed title fight with Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, who are still expected to have a rematch for the IBF, WBA and WBO belts.
