Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte are set to face off at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (April 23) with the WBC belt on the line.
Fury won that title after defeating Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas last October.
Meanwhile, Whyte last competed in March 2021, knocking out Alexander Povetkin to avenge his own stoppage loss to the Russian from August 2020.
This all British bout is one of the biggest boxing fights in the history of the sport for the UK.

The build-up to the fight has been rather unusual, with Whyte not being involved at all with press conferences and other activities until very recently.
This is because Whyte and his team have had a series of disputes with Fury’s UK co-promoter Frank Warren, some of which were aired in a clash involving Whyte’s lawyer last month.
