It’s fight day at Wembley!
Last week, the famous soccer stadium played host to the FA Cup semifinals. Today (Apr. 23), Wembley is home to heavyweight championship boxing in an all-British dust-up. Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) is back in England after twice defeating Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas to win and defend his WBC heavyweight title, and his opponent is mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs), who’s getting the first title shot of his career.
Fury substantially raised his profile with his rivalry with Wilder, which he took 2-0-1 and won both fights by knockout while surviving four knockdowns along the way.
