It will be Fury’s second defence following his trilogy win over Deontay Wilder

The home of English football will play host to the thrilling spectacle, which sees Whyte get his chance at the biggest prize in boxing.

Whyte left it until the very last minute to agree to the WBC world title clash, angering Fury for the last few weeks.

The Brixton brawler is not happy with his 20 per cent cut of the purse, with the Gypsy King raking in the other 80 per cent share.

But he has agreed to his shot at the big time and the chance to hand Fury his first ever defeat.

Victory on the BT Sport show will land 34-year-old Whyte £9million and the WBC heavyweight title.

He is guaranteed £6m for turning up to face 6ft 9in champ Fury.


Whyte has accepted just 20 per cent of the purse in his bid for glory
