Tyson Fury Vs Dillian Whyte Set To Go Down In April

Popular boxer, Tyson Fury will defend his WBC world heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte in April.

This is coming after the Gypsy King’s trans-Atlantic promotional partners Frank Warren and Bob Arum won Friday’s purse bid in Mexico City with an offer of $42 million dollars.

Whyte stands to lose out to some extent financially since the WBC has ordered a purse split of 80 to 20 percent in favour of Fury as champion.

The long-anticipated fight between Fury and Joshua will recede further if AJ loses to Usyk a second time.

WOW.
