How to watch Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte: Time, TV channel and live stream tonight

The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, will fight fellow countryman, Dillian Whyte in front of a capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium tonight.

Around 94,000 eager spectators will watch Fury's first bout in the UK in nearly four years, since defeating Francesco Pianeta in Belfast, in August 2018.

Since then, Fury has fought five times in the USA, including a trilogy of fights against Deontay Wilder, from which he earned his titles.

His challenger, Whyte, comes into this fight having most recently defeated Alexander Povetkin in March 2021, in the second of two fights between them.

The undercard features six bouts, including Fury's brother, Tommy, who will take on Polish fighter, Daniel Bocianski, having pulled out of a scheduled fight against social media star, Jake Paul.

Below is all the information you need to watch the fight.

What time is the fight?

The main event is set to take place at 10pm BST, with the undercard beginning four hours earlier, at 6pm.

What TV channel is the fight on?

The fight will be shown on BT Sport Box Office, and will cost fans £24.95 to watch via pay-per-view.

Is there a live stream?

BT Sport PPV customers will be able to stream the fight live on the BT Sport Box Office website or app.

What has been said in the build-up?

Fury: “I think everybody is underestimating how good this fight is going to be.

“This is a heavyweight boxing fight, anybody can win with one punch. If I’m not on my A-game then that man’s going to knock my head right off my shoulders.

“I’m going to have to be on form to beat him and he will have to perform at his best to beat me. He’s definitely a man that needs a lot of respect and that’s what I’ve given him."

Whyte: “I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

“I’m that kind of fighter where whatever I’ve got to do I will do: it’s victory by any means necessary.

“It means everything to fight in my home country for the world title. It’s massive."

Meanwhile, former WBC heavyweight champion, Frank Bruno, commented that the lack of interviews from Whyte, combined with Fury's social media silence in the build-up to the fight has been poor for fan engagement.

He said: "It's very very sad.

"You've got to put bums on the seats by doing press conferences. It’s sad for the UK fans that Dillian hasn’t been getting too involved. It’s usually part of the deal and contract."
