Tyson Fury's record in full ahead of Dillian Whyte title defence

Tyson Fury's heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte is finally going ahead, with Friday's purse bids bringing an end to a lengthy negotiation saga.

Those bids had been pushed back on no fewer than four occasions, amid continued speculation that Anthony Joshua would step-aside from his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.

However, that proposal soon collapsed and a record-breaking purse bid from Frank Warren bringing a close to negotiations.

The fight between Fury and Whyte is expected to take place towards the end of April, with Cardiff's Principality Stadium the favourite to be the venue.

That will be the final hurdle for Fury before a heavyweight unification bout against the winner of Joshua's rematch with Usyk, which would undoubtedly be the biggest fight of his career.

However, it's not just the WBC heavyweight belt which is up for grabs as Fury is also defending his undefeated record.

The 33-year-old has won 31 of his career bouts, with a single draw coming against Deontay Wilder - which was the first in their trilogy bout.

Fury, of course, secured back-to-back wins against Wilder in the second and third clashes with the Bronze Bomber - becoming the only man to inflict a defeat upon the American.

The Gypsy King has also been victorious against Wladimir Klitschko, Dereck Chisora (twice) and Otto Wallin.

Fury has also seen numerous wins end an opponent's unbeaten record, facing off against seven different undefeated fighters.
