    23rd April at Wembley Stadium.

    I don't see them selling 90,000 tickets though.

    As for the fight. I can see Whyte troubling Fury but fancy Fury late stoppage or Fury on points.

    Whyte didn't show up for the press conference.

    I'm not sure it means anything though.

    He’s getting his 20% of the purse and that’s it, isn’t he? If he’s getting none of the PPV why should he bother trying to sell it? Might as well keep his head down and get in with what he’s doing.

    Fury is as good at taking the piss as he is in the ring. Maybe Whyte just didn't want to be belittled before and during the fight?

    Fury made extremely light work of Chisora, can’t see any different here

    Whyte is a massive step up on Chisora and it depends what Fury we see. If it's the Fury that fought Wilder in the last fight then it's a proper 50/50. If he leans up, he should win at a canter.

    Whyte is not a massive step up on 2014 Chisora at all. Many people thought Chisora beat Whyte in 2016. They’re both durable sluggers; if Tyson can be arsed he’d canter past Whyte.

    He's stated he'll be his heaviest ever for this fight!

    He has said he might retire after this fight. I honestly believe that Fury doesn't want to fight Joshua

    I still disagree with the split, Yes I appreciate 20% of a fight with Fury is probably still going to be his biggest payday ever but hes been mandatory for years, always been side tracked and overlooked and his reward is 20%? Can't see how that's fair. In my eyes Whyte would be a good match for Joshua as I think he hurt him last time but as for this one Whyte won't trouble Fury at all. I still dont think Fury has the power and Whyte has more of a chin than Wilder, Fury will just outbox him and win on points

    Sorry, but Whyte isn't a slugger at all.

    You don't beat Parker, Povetkin and Rivas because you're just a slugger.

    Lets not put covid drained shell of old man Povetkin in a some sort of notable win.

    Parker has consistently shown he is below the elites.

    The less said about Rivas the better.

    This being the same Povetkin that stopped Whyte first ? Fury will steamroller him with ease.

    Obviously very wrong. They've sold already sold 90k tickets.

    I fancy Whyte to trouble Fury early doors, even possibly knock down Fury. But as the fight progresses I see Fury slowly breaking down Whyte and winning late

    it’s a miss match of a fight. Fury is a great & clever boxer, Whyte just has one big punch.

    Fury should win it easily, but it whyte gets lucky with that one big punch….who knows!!

    How much is it on Sky?
