Tyson Fury To Fight Dillian Whyte In WBC Heavyweight Championship Fight

By Daily Sports on January 29, 2022

Tyson Fury's WBC heavyweight title clash against Dillian Whyte has finally been confirmed. 

Fury's UK-based promoter Frank Warren won the highest successful purse bid in boxing history on Friday evening, his £31m ($41,025,000) beating out Matchroom Boxing's £24m ($32,222,222).

Whyte will now challenge for a world title for the first time in his career against the undefeated Fury, who emerged with two sensational wins from a historic trilogy with Deontay Wilder.

It is now expected that Anthony Joshua will rematch Oleksandr Usyk for the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.

Fury posted an Instagram story shortly after the announcement hinting that the fight against Whyte will take place in the UK, the words "BIG GK IS COMING HOME, UK BABY" accompany the lyrics to the song 'Three Lions'. (Sky Sports)
