We’re now 10 days away from Tyson Fury defending his heavyweight championships in what could be his last ever fight as he takes in Dillian Whyte in an all-British heavyweight blockbuster that is set to be held at Wembley Stadium. The Gypsy King continues his WBC title defence against Whyte after a stunning victory against Deontay Wilder back in October last year.
It’ll be Fury’s first fight on home soil since August 2018, when he beat Francesco Pianeta in Belfast. Since then, his last five fights have all taken place in the United States In preparation to face Whyte, Fury has begun training, pictured recently training with controversial boxer Jarrell Miller.
Fury was set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout, but both Whyte and Anthony Joshua refused to step-aside with that fight now on hold. Whyte has not fought since last March when he dispatched Alexander Povetkin, as Fury and Whyte have been involved in a war of words, along with plenty of disagreements leading up to the fight on image rights and purse split.
