Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte set to break record, undercard revealed
Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte is set to take place on April 23rd this year. The fight sold out within hours of the in-attendance tickets going live.
Earlier reports suggested that the promoters would try to increase the capacity of the stadium to 100,000 to break the in-attendance record and deal with the high demand of tickets. Michael Benson reported the new in-attendance limit set by the authorities:
"Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte is set to break the British boxing attendance record as the local authority have granted a request to extend maximum capacity to 94,000 at Wembley Stadium on April 23rd."
Take a look at the tweet:
