'The Gypsy King' is the bookies' strong favorite going into Saturday. Fury is coming off a thrilling victory against Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight and is widely considered the best heavyweight in the world.
Meanwhile, Whyte is the clear underdog with two losses on his record against Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin. Some boxing experts believe 'The Body Snatcher' only has a puncher's chance against Fury.
