Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte tickets still available, plus fight news and undercard
Tickets are still available for one of the biggest fights of the year so far. Fury returns home from a string of fights in the USA as the newly crowned WBC Heavyweight Champion, to face Brixton's Dillian Whyte.
Set to be one of the biggest fights of the year, Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte is taking place in London in a matter of days. Remarkably, a small amount of tickets are still available! The build-up to the fight has been packed with surprises and the latest update includes a potential late replacement for Whyte, the full undercard being announced and a new ticket release.
Set to take place at London's iconic Wembley stadium, it's a UK homecoming for Tyson Fury, the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King', who will be defending his WBC Heavyweight World title against challenger Dillian Whyte. The original batch of tickets sold out in a flash, but more have now been made available.
Wembley Stadium has boosted the capacity for the fight from 89,000 to an eye-popping 94,000 people. That will see the fight break the previous attendance record set by Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko back in 2017.
Due to on-going disagreements between Fury, Whyte and promoter Frank Warren, there has been some speculation as to whether a last-minute replacement for Dillian Whyte may have to step in. Warren has been widely reported to have "covered all bases" and this led some to speculate that Joe Joyce may be the back-up option. Joyce is a former British Olympian with a flourishing pro career. He's one of the few heavyweights who is both available and high-profile enough to step in for Whyte, should the need arise.
Whether Whyte or Joyce step into the ring to face Fury, this is one of the biggest fights to take place in the UK in recent years, with two top-rated British heavyweights set to go toe-to-toe. As a result, tickets are in huge demand. In this ticketing guide, we'll help you understand when and where to watch the fight and how to get tickets to attend this landmark sporting event.
In his last bout, Tyson Fury came through a closely fought battle with Deontay Wilder in the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas. Both men were floored during the fight but Fury finally came out on top in the 11th round, stopping Wilder conclusively.
Now, having beaten Wilder twice and drawn with him once, in one of the most remarkable heavyweight trilogies in modern boxing, Fury is ready for a new challenge. Enter Dillian 'The Body Snatcher' Whyte.
Whyte is famous for a long-running rivalry with Anthony Joshua, having beaten the GB star in the amateurs. However, since then he's gone on to achieve an awful lot in the professional ring, beating a string of world-ranked contenders, including Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin. Now, the Brixton man is preparing to take on the biggest challenge of his career in a long-awaited world title shot against Tyson Fury.
Fury vs Whyte: when is the fight?
The fight is set to take place on April 23rd 2022, at Wembley Stadium in London.
It's the first time Tyson Fury has fought in the UK since 2018 when he took on Francesco Pianeta in an underwhelming comeback fight in Belfast.
When do tickets go on sale?
The first batch of tickets went on sale 2nd March at midday, via Ticketmaster. They sold like hot-cakes.
Right now, some tickets are still available! However, many of them are resale tickets, meaning prices are slightly inflated. It's still possible to bag yourself a ticket for around £100.
For those unable to get tickets, the fight will be shown on BT Sport Box Office.
How much do tickets cost for the Fury vs Whyte fight?
Prices originally started at £55 but now — in the second wave of sales — they start at £100. There is a wide range of pricing options for Whyte vs Fury, due to the huge arena and the typical layout of a boxing venue.
Ringside tickets sell for huge prices, but tickets up in the higher tiers of the stands at Wembley are available at far more accessible (though still expensive) price points.
There are also options for tickets including coach travel and hotels.
Fury vs Whyte undercard: Who else is fighting?
Boxing fans had a confusingly long wait to hear about the undercard of Fury vs Whyte, but now it's finally out in the open.
The main supporting contest will see Tyson Fury's training partner Isaac Lowe take on Liverpool's Nick Ball for the vacant WBC Silver Featherweight Title. It's an interesting fight on paper. While Lowe has bags more experience of top-level boxing, Ball has showed promise and knockout power since making his debut in 2017, stopping seven of his 14 opponents.
Tyson Fury's well-known half brother, Tommy Fury is set to return to the ring against Daniel Bocianski of Poland. Fury will be a heavy favourite but fans of the Love Island star will be keen to see his progress.
Anthony 'The Apache' Cacace takes on Jonathan Romero for the WBO International Super Featherweight title and looks to continue a good vein of form against the experienced Colombian.
At heavyweight, David Adeleye takes the next step in his professional career, taking on Central Area Heavyweight Champion Chris Healey. Though a belt-holder and the far more experienced man, Healey is an outsider in this contest, with only one win in his last five.
Light heavyweights Karol Itauma and Michal Ciach clash, with Itauma viewed as a heavy favourite. Elsewhere, Royston Barney-Smith goes into his second career contest, taking on Jahfieus Faure, and Kurt Walker is set to take on an as-yet-undisclosed opponent.
For a fight of this magnitude, the undercard is less high profile than expected, but fans have already voted with their feet and tickets are in high demand. It's bound to be a memorable sporting event.
