After 2.5 years of exclusively fighting Deontay Wilder, WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, gets a fresh test this afternoon (Sat., April 23, 2022) against countryman and mandatory challenger, Dillian Whyte, inside Wembley Stadium in London, England.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of the main event below, as well as quick results for the pay-per-view (PPV) main card. The ESPN+ PPV main card (watch it here) begins at 2 p.m. ET, while Fury and Whyte will make their ring walks around 5 p.m. ET.
Whyte had a long and tumultuous road to this opportunity. Back in 2017, he won the WBC “silver” title with a decision over Robert Helenius. This should have guaranteed a world title shot, but WBC refused to actually give him one, even when he claimed its interim belt in 2019. He even wound up losing the title to Alexander Povetkin during the wait, but reclaimed it with a brutal knockout in their rematch.
Whoever wins here will almost certainly go on to challenge the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua 2 for undisputed Heavyweight supremacy.
The undercard is … well, not good, and I’m not going to legitimize it with a puff piece.
