When is Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte? Date, venue, tickets and TV details

Tyson Fury's eagerly-awaited return to the boxing scene in the UK is right around the corner, with Dillian Whyte lying in wait.

The WBC mandated fight has been in the making for a while but had encountered significant delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions.

While an agreement was reached, further delays have been present as fans waited for the contracts to be signed but that has now happened, with Whyte putting pen to paper just hours before Tuesday morning's deadline.

The fight also marks the final hurdle for Fury before a likely heavyweight unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.

Here's everything you need to know about the bout against Whyte.

Where is the fight?

Fury's return to a fight in the UK is a huge event and, therefore, a stadium was always going to be required.

The Gypsy King's camp had reserved an end of March date at Cardiff's Principality Stadium but, although still a contender, it's Wembley Stadium that is expected to play host to the bout.

The home of English football has played to numerous fights in the past but Fury has never fought there, though he has competed at Wembley Arena.

When is the fight?

An official date is yet to be announced but it's widely understood that the bout will take place at the end of April.

It is likely to take place on Saturday, April 23 - with Eddie Hearn even confirming that Connor Benn's fight, scheduled for that date, would be moved in the event of a clash.

How can I get tickets?

Once again, official details on tickets will be announced in due course and it's likely to be a huge sell-out - with tickets anticipated to be extremely hot.

Fans should be sure to keep to the licensed ticket channels to avoid paying over the odds for tout prices.

How can I watch the fight?

Tyson Fury's camp have a long-standing relationship with BT Sport and it's expected that the fight will be televised on BT Sport Box Office.
