Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs)
Following three legendary bouts against Deontay Wilder over the course of the past four years, “The Gypsy King” has morphed into the biggest draw in boxing. Currently, Fury holds the WBC, The Ring, WBO, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles, with three of his past four defenses coming by way of KO/TKO.
Standing at 6’9”, Fury will tower over his opponent who stands at 6’4”, with a significant advantage in not just height but reach of 9.” A significant favorite in this bout, it will also mark the first time since a 2018 win vs. Francesco Pianeta that Fury has fought on his home soil of England.
Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs)
While he will be at a disadvantage from a size, age, and record standpoint, there is a reason some think “The Body Snatcher” could just be the one to snatch Fury’s “0”. A former kickboxing champion who has also competed in mixed martial arts, Whyte won the WBC interim heavyweight title a year ago from Alexander Povetkin via TKO in the 4th round.
In a fight that was a rematch of Whyte’s initial loss vs. Povetkin in August 2020, Whyte’s only other professional loss came via Anthony Joshua in 2015. Over his last 10 professional wins, 50% have ended before the final bell, as Whyte’s power is second to few in the division.
