Tyson Fury fight date: UK start time, undercard and TV channel for Dillian Whyte bout

Tyson Fury will make his UK homecoming in a heavyweight title defence against domestic rival Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium.

The 'Gypsy King' will be looking to retain his crown for the second time after knocking out Deontay Wilder last year in an epic trilogy bout to end their rivalry.

Whyte has yet to emerge from a cover of silence since the fight was announced, but is preparing to challenge for the heavyweight title after a frustrating wait of over 1,000 days.

Fury will go into the huge domestic contest as the favourite and has made plans to retire after the final bell against his British rival.

His challenger will return to the ring for the first time since his rematch victory over Alexander Povetkin over a year ago, and will be looking to cause a mighty upset.

Quotes corner

Fury: "He is called Thrillian Whyteknickers, because he is as soft as what it says in the title. All this social media stuff he has shown his colours today, he gets upset and causes a ruckus, now he has given me that much more confidence.

"The way he is going on about it, because he will see that fire in my eyes and think he is getting killed. It is fear and it is terror, it is all of the above and I don’t blame him for not being here. I’d be remanded in a London jail as I would have stretched him.

" Tyson Fury vs his own shadow will sell. I am very confident, I am not a down to earth fellow I am on top of the world fellow. There is not even 1 percent doubt I am not going to annihilate Dillian Whyte.

"I believe that I can beat Dillian Whyte with one hand tied behind my back and one foot off the floor. For me it is just another fight to a milestone. I am not interested in people rate me because when I finish boxing it’s done for me. I have had my five minutes of fame."

Whyte: “Tyson Fury always runs from dangerous challenges. If he thinks he can beat you and he gets in your psyche, like Wilder, he will take that. Does he 100 percent believe he can beat me and Joshua? No. He’s got better feet than me and he is a bit bigger than me, but he knows, I have spent time with Tyson Fury, we have sparred before, many times.

“Fury just fiddles his way through fights. Does Tyson Fury’s style excite you? His style is not exciting. OK, he knocked out Deontay Wilder last time, but before that he just fiddled his way through. He tried to do the same thing against Wallin and that’s why he got cut.”
