Popular boxer, Tyson Fury will defend his WBC world heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte in April.

This is coming after the Gypsy King’s trans-Atlantic promotional partners Frank Warren and Bob Arum won Friday’s purse bid in Mexico City with an offer of $42 million dollars.

Whyte stands to lose out to some extent financially since the WBC has ordered a purse split of 80 to 20 percent in favour of Fury as champion.

The long-anticipated fight between Fury and Joshua will recede further if AJ loses to Usyk a second time.

WOW.
