Tickets for Tyson Fury’s WBC heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte go on sale on Wednesday with a huge demand expected. Fury will face the media in a press conference at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday ahead of ticket sales starting but Whyte has opted against attending the event.
Whyte will instead remain at his base in Portugal, with Fury’s promoter Bob Arum claiming the Body Snatcher wanted a cut of the pay-per-view sales to turn up to the press conference. Fury’s title defence was formally announced last week after Whyte signed his contract and it will take place at Wembley on Saturday, April 23.
Crowds will flock to a big boxing event at the national stadium for the first time since Anthony Joshua knocked out Wladimir Klitschko in front of a record 90,000 fans there in 2017 to win his first world championship fight. Fans will also fondly remember George Groves vs Carl Froch 2 taking place in 2014 in front of a then record 80,00 crowd at the home of English football.
