The highly anticipated Heavyweight championship bout between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte has officially been announced for April 23rd.

The Heavyweight division looked to be in a bit of a scuffle for a while as 'The Gypsy King' wanted to skip Dillian Whyte and fight Oleksandr Usyk first in an attempt to face his compatriot Anthony Joshua down the line.

However, as the step-aside deal for Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte fell apart, Fury had no choice but to face his WBC mandate. Also, that wasn't it, Whyte raised speculations surrounding the fight by not signing the contract until deadline day to face Fury.

Nevertheless, all of this is now in the past and Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte has officially been announced to headline the Wembley Stadium in London on April 23rd.

Boxing journalist Michael Benson took to Twitter to report the same, where he said:

"FIGHT ANNOUNCED, Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte WBC Heavyweight April 23rd. Wembley Stadium, London"
