Tyson Fury will make a triumphant homecoming at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Saturday, when he defends his WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte.
Fury's previous five bouts have taken place in the United States, including all three of his thrilling trilogy against Deontay Wilder.
Whyte has endured an arduous and sometimes perilous wait for his shot. He will have been the WBC's number-one ranked contender for 1,634 days by the time the first bell sounds on April 23rd.
The Londoner's plans for a shot at the biggest prize were derailed when Russian veteran Alexander Povetkin dealt him a stunning knockout loss in August 2020.
Whyte avenged that defeat emphatically in his most recent outing last March, while Fury's transition into a front-foot counter-puncher in the celebrated Kronk style under trainer Sugar Hill gave him a thrilling new dimension in the second and third Wilder fights.
It means we seem set for fireworks this weekend. Sporting News has a look at how those might detonate.
Fury and Wilder are due to ringwalk no later than 10 p.m. BST at England's national stadium, with something extravagant sure to be planned for the record 94,000 crowd. A low-key undercard is set to begin around four hours earlier this Saturday, April 23rd.
