Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte fight for the WBC Heavyweight title 23 April 2022

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte will face each other at Wembley Stadium, London in a WBC heavyweight title match on Saturday, April 23 at 22:00 GMT. Tyson Fury is the reigning WBC heavyweight champion while Dillian Whyte is the WBC Interim Champion. The lead-up to this title fight between the two British Heavyweights has been the outburst of Whyte over the treatment he has received from the Fury camp in the media. Speaking to the BBC, Whyte said he has been treated like a nobody in the lead up to the match-up between the two former buddies.

Bookmakers from Bet365 have Fury at the overwhelming short odds of 1.20. This is the sentiment of the public because of the emphatic manner Fury dispatched Deontay Wilder in his last fight of the Fury/Wilder trilogy in 2020. However, Wilder has the reputation for a strong chin so maybe he might last longer in the ring. The bookmaker has Fury to win by KO, TKO, or Disqualification at 1.72.

This match is available on the ESPN+ (PPV) and BT Sports Box.

Tyson Fury has been talking about respect for his opponent in this fight. This is in response to accusations by Whyte that Fury’s camp is going about like only Tyson can sell the match tickets. He has insisted that the oddsmakers don’t understand heavyweight boxing by giving his opponent such short odds. According to him in heavyweight boxing, any fighter can stop the other with one punch. Fury, who is never afraid to court controversy, has hailed this fight as his last after which he will retire. An assertion that his father thinks is ridiculous. The Gypsy King who roundly dispatched Wilder in their celebrated trilogy has announced that he is in the shape of his life and has been breaking records in the gym.
