Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte
Fury to defend WBC title against Dillian Whyte
Tyson Fury's WBC heavyweight title fight with Dillian Whyte has been confirmed.
Fury's boxing promoter Frank Warren announced on Friday he will be staging the heavyweight clash after successfully winning the purse with an offer of £31m.
A date and venue have yet to be confirmed but Cardiff's Principality Stadium has been touted as a possible destination on 23 April.
Whyte is the WBC's number one and mandatory contender after avenging a loss to Alexander Povetkin 11 months ago. The 33-year-old has not fought since then and will fight for a heavyweight title for the first time in his career.
Fury hasn't boxed in the UK since beating Francesco Pianeta in Belfast in August 2018. The WBC heavyweight champion's last five fights have been held in the United States, including the famous trilogy against Deontay Wilder.
