Tyson Fury will defend his WBC title against Dillian Whyte on Feb 23
Dillian Whyte was last in action against Alexander Povetkin in 2021
But finally, fans will get to see the all-British duel they’ve been craving, after Fury’s proposed bout with Anthony Joshua fell through last summer.
Fury and Whyte will clash for the former’s WBC title and Ring Magazine belt, with the Gypsy King’s lineal status also on the line.
Fury last faced Deontay Wilder in a huge trilogy match-up four months ago, winning via 11th-round knockout.
Whyte stopped Alexander Povetkin in four rounds last March in a fight that took place in Gibraltar while the UK was in lockdown.
