The time has come for Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte to step into the ring in front of a mega-packed house at Wembley in an all-British duel for the ages.

With a number of recent major heavyweight bouts either going ahead abroad in Saudi Arabia, the US or behind closed doors due to COVID restrictions, Fury and Whyte will be determined to put on a show in front of a berserk crowd that will almost hit the 100,000 fans milestone.

Fury enters the bout as the favourite to defend his WBC heavyweight title, and it could be the final time he steps into a ring. Earlier this week, Fury said: "That's it. Get a good victory here on Saturday night, relax, sit back and enjoy life."

The unpredictable superstar could easily pull a U-turn depending on how Saturday night goes, but what is clear, he won't be around for too much longer, and that means a fabled clash with Anthony Joshua is unlikely to materialise.

Whyte has waited for a world title shot for some time and he will be desperate to rack up the biggest victory of his career this weekend when he steps into the full glare of a packed-out Wembley.
