Fury is the reigning WBC heavyweight champion after back-to-back victories over Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas and now meets Whyte in the biggest sporting event of the year so far at Wembley.

The Gypsy King retained his crown emphatic knockout in October last year, with unification against then-champ Anthony Joshua looked up.

AJ would ultimately lose his own title defense to Oleksandr Usyk and a rematch was delayed as a result Usyk’s decision to fight for Ukraine against Russia.

Fury’s attention was therefore focused on the mandatory challenger why34 as he puts his belt on the line once more.

Fury said when the fight was announced: “I’m coming home baby. Get ready for the biggest British dust test since Lennox Lewis vs. Frank Bruno. History is made.”

Exclusive radio coverage is available on talkSPORT with reporting from 7.30 p.m.

And Whyte, 34, wrote on Twitter last week: “I’m ready. Looking forward to seeing everyone at @wembleystadium on April 23rd. Lets Gooo!!!!”

WBC mandatory challenger Whyte will make around £6million for taking part, while Fury will pocket a significantly meatier £23.5million.
