The Sporting News has you covered when it comes to when Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte will make their way to the ring.
The Fury vs. Tyson Fury vs. Fury vs. Fury vs. Whyte main card will air on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Dillian Whyte will take place Saturday, April 23. The winner of this Saturday’s fight could be on a path to a heavyweight unification fight. He won the interim WBC heavyweight title in 2019 against Oscar Rivas but was later suspended and stripped of the belt after a drug test before being reinstated. After fighting Deontay Wilder to a draw, he beat Wilder in a rematch in February 2020 for the WBC title. “The Body Snatcher” lost the belt in August 2020 in dramatic fashion against Alexander Povetkin. Whyte won the title back in March via TKO in what was the final fight of Povetkin’s career. After years of waiting, Dillian Whyte is finally getting his shot at the WBC heavyweight champion. Tyson Fury is more than ready for the challenge.
Both British heavyweights are in confident mood after a tumultuous buildup to their epic Wembley showdown.
In August 2020, in the midst of lockdown, he fought the old Russian warhorse Alexander Povetkin. The acute loneliness of heavyweight boxing engulfed Whyte after he was knocked out in the fifth round by a sickening uppercut. For all the enduring unpredictability of some heavyweight contests, and the volatile lives of both men, Fury should win again. He fathered a child at the age of 13 and his life has often been tumultuous. Obviously the crowd does play a part and there are going to be 94,000 people there. It says much about Whyte’s nerve, and the fearlessness which Fury recognises, that he demanded a rematch. If it’s written in the stars that I win again, we will have a drink after the fight to a very successful night and career. Fury has had an often difficult fight week and there were occasions when he has been riled by persistent questions about his past working relationship with Daniel Kinahan, the alleged leader of a drug cartel. He remains unbeaten after those 32 fights and Fury really believes he is the best heavyweight in the world by some distance, “I know he thinks he’s the six foot nine inch version of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Mike Tyson rolled into one,” Whyte said, “but he’s only a man. I will be leaving every ounce of strength and energy I have in the ring. I’ve sparred him a lot in the past and he didn’t show any weaknesses. A couple of days later, in the shadow of the huge arena where Fury will defend his WBC title against his British challenger, the world champion and undoubted favourite was just as blunt and respectful. He will receive 20% of the record $41,025,000 fight purse.

"I just love boxing. For Whyte's camp, they feel it is their moment, their man's moment. "This is what I've lived for, this is what I've been waiting for, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. "I think because I spent so long building fighters from scratch, there's a format and that takes time. "You give credit where it's due, when he has gone down he's got up. The answer, for a trainer that has been instrumental in guiding amateur fighters to the pro ranks and travelled to America to expand his knowledge and spent time in multiple corners to hone his expertise, is a lot.
The WBC heavyweight title is on the line from Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night.
And if his public workout this week was any indication, in which he worked out from southpaw for the entirety, it's likely "The Gypsy King" has a few wrinkles up his sleeve to keep Whyte guessing. In the end, Whyte pushes the pace consistently enough to where it's either him or you that gets stopped. In many ways, Fury's third fight against Wilder last fall was the perfect prerequisite for the challenge Whyte brings to the table. Instead, the 34-year-old Whyte is expected to bring a sturdy challenge to the 6-foot-9 Fury thanks to his 6-foot-4 frame, durability and punching power. I've had a couple slipups along the way, but I'm here and I'm ready to go. Because of that, Fury will need to properly mix his two styles as both boxer and puncher. Given Fury's pre-fight comments, it's an inevitability he appears to accept, which is why his predictions have consistently been a knockout. The fans are in for a real treat," Fury said.

Tyson Fury puts his WBC heavyweight title on the line against Dillian Whyte in an all-British blockbuster at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
But, where that once would have been a pick ‘em fight, Fury suggested few observers would give AJ much of a chance of victory at this stage. It must be said, Fury made an incredibly compelling case for hanging his gloves up. The rationale for Chisora, over whom Fury has two very comfortable victories, was him being a very good friend and they could make piles of money together. The perfect time for this clash has probably passed but it remains arguably the biggest fight to be made in world boxing. However, it would be one to make the purists drool. This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. What a way to go out!"
Undefeated world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defended his title with a sixth-round knockout of fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is a -575 money line favorite over No. 1 contender Dillian Whyte in Fury’s first fight since last October’s 11th-round knockout of Deontay Wilder that capped their memorable trilogy. [The accusations have] nothing to do with me. Fury weighed nearly 13 pounds less than when he last fought in October, beating American Deontay Wilder via an 11th-round knockout to complete their memorable trilogy. MTK Global announced Wednesday it was ceasing operations because of lingering association with an alleged Irish crime boss. Whyte continued to work the body with success. Essuman remained unbeaten (17-0, seven KOs) as two judges scored the bout 116-112, and a third had it 117-111. In a surprising move, top contender Dillian Whyte, who had been an orthodox boxer throughout his career, opened the fight in a southpaw stance. Whyte had difficultly getting close to Fury, who kept his opponent at bay with a considerable reach advantage. Tyson Fury used his reach advantage to land one jab after another, with particular effectiveness connecting to the body. Fury emerged from the stoppage with a brutal left. Shortly before Fury took the microphone in the ring to sing his customary “American Pie,” he was asked about a possible retirement from boxing. Return to menu
Tyson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight title after beating Dillian Whyte by technical knockout in the sixth round in front of a raucous 94000 fans at ...
Whyte seemed upset with Fury for an apparent use of the head, leading referee Mark Lyson to give both men a stern talking to in their respective corners. It was instantly lights out for Whyte, who dropped straight onto his back like a great felled tree. "He [Whyte] didn't fight the world champion tonight," Fury said in his post-match press conference. You can't deny it, I'm the best heavyweight there's ever been." As the third round drew to a close, Fury landed two jabs on Whyte and gave himself a nod of approval. As expected, though, any niceties dissipated when the first bell sounded; Fury had promised fans "a real war" in the ring and it was certainly a promise he lived up to.
Tyson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight title after the referee stopped his fight with Dillian Whyte in the sixth round at Wembley.
While he was furious with the way his cut of the £41,025,000 purse had been reduced to 20%, Whyte hoped to disrupt Fury by refusing to engage with him before the bout. Whyte had tried to unsettle Fury, who is the master of boxing mind-games, by remaining quiet and elusive throughout the protracted fight build-up. Steward and Andy Lee, who is one of the most impressive young trainers in Britain and Ireland, have had a profound impact in Fury’s corner. Each man landed a thudding body punch but the greater precision of Fury’s work, behind his jab and combinations, was obvious. The challenger tried to jab often to Fury’s relatively fleshy body but the difference in class was apparent. It was a devastating punch, reminiscent of the chilling uppercut that Alexander Povetkin used to knock out Whyte in August 2020.
The 33-year-old teased the potential dream match after defeating Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the 6’4”, 262-pound Ngannou has won five of his last six by either KO or TKO, and is 17–3 (12 KOs) in his career. That fight will happen because, at the end of this year, we’re going to sort this out and get settled. Ngannou, who joined Fury in the ring during his interview, quickly followed the remarks by detailing the rules of their potential dream fight.

Ngannou is arguably the most dominant fighter in the UFC right now. Fury and Ngannou have been going back and forth about a potential fight for months. @francis_ngannou is adamant the @Tyson_Fury fight will happen!

Another boxing-UFC battle? Tyson Fury proposes clash with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou after TKO win over Dillian Whyte.
“I’m one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, and, unfortunately, for Dillian Whyte, he had to face me tonight,” Fury said. I wanted to keep going downstairs with those hooks to the body and, at the right time, I was going to bring the right hand straight through the middle,” Fury said. “I was touching him with the jab, breaking him up with the jab and check hook. Ngannou responded, “I’m going to find out who is the baddest (man) on the planet. Referee Mark Lyson spared him further punishment, waving the bout over with one second remaining in the sixth. In the fourth round, an accidental clash of heads cut Whyte at the right eyebrow. This is heavyweight boxing,” Fury said. “I don’t know what (Ngannou’s) contract situation with the UFC is," Arum said. This is the UFC heavyweight champion. “This is going to be one very special fight, like one never before seen in the sport. “I’m the boxing heavyweight champion. Ngannou spoke of fighting Fury in lighter MMA-style gloves.
The WBC world heavyweight champion was far too strong for challenger Dillian Whyte on a night that confirmed Fury's place in the British sporting pantheon.
However, he then had to wait 15 or so minutes for Fury to join him in the ring. Fury at this stage was out of the sport, as he addressed his mental health. But the underwhelming undercard meant the loudest cheers were always reserved for those sightings of the man of the moment. There's a thin line between the ridiculous and the impressive with Fury's ring walks, but in front of a record-breaking crowd at Wembley Stadium, Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) had the masses in the palm of his hand -- and with it the status as one of the biggest stars in British sport and the face of heavyweight boxing. After brief flash points in the fourth round, it was all Fury as he kept Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) at bay and floored him with 10 seconds left in the sixth with a right uppercut. LONDON -- Tyson Fury announced himself as "The King." He sat on a throne.
Fury raised his right hand in celebration, knowing there would be no coming back from an uppercut seemingly felt all around Wembley Stadium.
He jogged to the ring and sat on a throne. Fury was in control of the fight without truly exerting himself until the fifth round, which he dominated. Fury was soaking in perhaps his last moments in a ring after 14 years as a professional. “I definitely think so,” he said. Whyte — the long-time mandatory challenger — was mostly reckless with some big but wayward shots. “This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King,” Fury said in the ring, with his WBC and Ring Magazine belts around his shoulders.

Tyson Fury vowed to retire from professional boxing after producing a masterclass to beat Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium Saturday.
"If it was going to be the last fight, it'll be the last fight. There ain't never been anyone that could beat me," he told reporters in his post-fight press conference. "So unless he really wants to box on, and if he's just doing it for whatever money, fame, he doesn't need that. Fury's career has been one of extremes. I'm the best heavyweight there's ever been. "For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight."
More than three years after he last fought in the UK, Tyson Fury was a popular winner in what he claimed will be his final fight.
This was predicted to be the largest ever attendance for a British fight, with 94,000 tickets available. In the fifth he was rocked. The pattern of the fight was established early. Instead he provided a masterclass in the most basic of boxing arts: hit and not be hit. To the casual viewer he might resemble an oversized character from Punch Out!!, the popular 1980s Nintendo boxing game, with that devilish glint in his eye and a little too much flesh around the belly. But tonight, he met a great in the sport.
Fury talked of retirement after knocking out Dillian Whyte but a unification fight with winner of Joshua v Uysk may still be on the menu.
Fury also insisted that he was willing to fight UFC champion Ngannou under special conditions in 2023: “He’s on my hit list in an exhibition fight, however he wants it. For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight.” I’d also love to be in Cardiff. I enjoyed it last time in Saudi Arabia. It was fantastic. I want to have fun. I think everyone wants to see it, he’s a monster of a guy, I’m a monster of a guy so it will be a clash of the titans for sure.” For now, however, Fury claims that the next time he is likely to enter the ring will be as a WWE wrestler at SummerSlam in Nevada in July, or in Cardiff in September. Fury, who first wrestled in Saudi Arabia in 2019, added: “You might see me at SummerSlam coming up soon.
