How to buy Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte tickets as Wembley Stadium capacity increased

Thousands more seats have been added for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte later this month in what will now be a record attendance at Wembley Stadium. The capacity has been increased from around 89,000 to 94,000 - a record for a sporting event under the arch.

We're now just weeks away from Fury defending his heavyweight championship in what could be his last ever fight as he takes in Whyte in the all-British heavyweight blockbuster. The Gypsy King continues his WBC title defence against Whyte after a stunning victory against Deontay Wilder back in October last year.

It could to be Fury's last fight of his career, after announcing his intentions to retire after the bout, whilst stating he does not have any desire to unify the titles against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.

Fury had been hoping to face Usyk in a unification bout, but both Whyte and 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.

The Gypsy King has promoted the fight himself, with Whyte refusing to turn up to a recent press conference because of a reported pay dispute. Speaking to the media, Fury and promoter Frank Warren had mentioned their intentions of speaking to the local council in an attempt to add more floor seats for the bout - something which has now seemingly been granted.

The move was announced yesterday, along with more names added to the undercard - including Tommy Fury who will face Polish veteran Daniel Bocianski.

The extra tickets will go on sale via the Ticketmaster platform at midday on Wednesday. You can buy tickets here.
