Tyson Fury, the undefeated WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion, defended his world titles against former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in a trilogy match on October 9, 2021, when he knocked out Wilder in the eleventh round in a widely acclaimed fight that was named The Ring magazine Fight of the Year 2021.
Dillian Whyte, Fury’s mandatory challenger, had been slated to defend his WBC interim title against southpaw Otto Wallin on October 30.
But the fight was canceled days before the fight after it was reported that Whyte had sustained a shoulder injury, ruling him out of contention.
He chose to forgo Wallin in favor of a shot at Fury’s world belts, therefore he did not reschedule the fight with him.
Who won Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte fight?
Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte are almost ready for their massive WBC heavyweight title fight on Saturday, April 23, which is rumored to be Fury’s farewell fight as he returns to the UK for the first time since 2018 to fight in front of a crowd of 90,000 at Wembley Stadium.
Six fights will take place before the main event, though many have grumbled that the lineup isn’t what they’d expect from organizer Frank Warren for such a big event.
The two heavyweights have never faced each other before. This will be their first encounter.
