Tyson Fury will make his return to the boxing ring in just over two months time when he'll face Dillian Whyte. The fight was mandated by the WBC after being speculated about for a while.
The bout has encountered numerous delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions. However, an agreement was finally reached and the countdown to the fight is now on.
Two weeks ago, Eddie Hearn confirmed that Fury had signed his end of the contract, with Whyte yet to do so. Whyte has still not put pen to paper but is expected to sign the £8million deal on Monday, provided there is no last-minute hitch.
Wembley Stadium now looks almost certain to be the venue for the all-British blockbuster bout which will see Fury fight on home soil for the first time since 2018.
Cardiff's Principality Stadiums and West Ham's Olympic Stadium had also been in contention to host the fight but negotiations with Wembley representatives are almost done, the Daily Mail reports.
Fury has already confirmed that the fight will be held on April 23.
Hearn lost the purse bids for the fight, with Fury's promoters Warren and Bob Arum taking the lead.
Whyte is coming off the back of a win over Alexander Povetkin, avenging his KO defeat to the Russian in 2020, with Fury fighting for the first time in the UK since his trilogy contests with Deontay Wilder.
