A record 94,000 fans are expected at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday to witness the final battle of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Opposite him in the ring will be Dillian White, also known as the “Body Kidnapper”, who will not make things easier for Fury, despite what speculators say. Fury started the week as a huge -650 favorite at BetMGM to retain the WBC heavyweight title he lifted from Deontay Wilder in February 2020, but those chances are steadily declining. On Saturday, Fury is already at -400, and White is at +333.
Both fighters enter the ring after knocking out their last opponent. White finished Alexander Povetkin in the fourth round of the race in March 2021, while Fury knocked out Wilder in their battle of the November trilogy.
White has his own huge followers who contribute to the sold-out Wembley crowd and has been patiently waiting for his chance at the WBC title. Also on the line is Fury’s heavyweight title, which the “Gypsy King” won from Vladimir Klitschko in 2015.
