How to watch Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte as boxing icons predict how Wembley blockbuster will go

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte have promised fans a “f****** war” in tonight’s world heavyweight title showdown at Wembley.

The bout will be one of the biggest title fights in British heavyweight boxing history.

Fury weighted in at 18st 12lb 13 oz - almost one stone lighter than he did for this last fight against Dontay Wilder in October last year.

His opponent Whyte tipped the scaled at 18st 1lb 4oz - six pounds heavier than he was for his rematch win over Alexander Povetkin.

Both fighters have been respectful towards each other during the week running up to the bout and playfully exchanged caps after stepping on the scales yesterday at Wembley's BoxPark.

But they have vowed the niceties will end as soon as the first bell sounds.

So who will win tonight?

Here are some predictions from some known names in the boxing world...

David Haye - former two-weight world champion

Prediction: Whyte

"The type of opponent that you’d need to beat Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte has all of those attributes.

"He can punch hard, he’s got cardio for days he’s got the desire and belief in himself. I’m going for the underdog."

Derek Chisora - former Fury and Whyte opponent

Prediction: Whyte

"I’d put my house on it

"I’m willing to put my house on Whyte knocking Fury out."

Carl Frampton - former two-weight world champion

Prediction: Fury

"Dillian Whyte has got so much to prove and feels like he is an outcast of some sorts.

"But I see Tyson Fury having too much for him and stopping him late on."

Ricky Hatton - former world champion

Prediction: Fury

"Fury comes out and puts it on Whyte and is aggressive then that gives Whyte a chance but I think Fury will just have too much for him.

"He’s better in every department. "

Lennox Lewis - former three time heavyweight world champion

Prediction: Fury

“Tyson Fury can do anything in this fight.

"He can stand way back and throw his jab and box, or he can box inside. But if he boxes inside, there’s a danger of him getting hit.

"The guy that he’s boxing is going to be throwing some serious punches, he’s [Whyte] got a great right hook and a great right hand so he’s going to want to throw that.

"If Tyson Fury is in that distance he’s definitely going to throw that.”

Frank Bruno

Prediction: Fury

“Tyson will take the fight as it comes, he just seems to adapt to every problem that he faces.

"Even when he gets hit on the chin he gets straight back up again.

“Tyson has a lot more experience than Whyte and that is maybe why I favour Tyson but if he doesn’t keep his head down to avoid the Whyte bombs then he could be in danger."
