Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte: ‘Bodysnatcher’ signs contract for heavyweight title showdown before deadline

Dillian Whyte is reported to have finally signed contracts for a huge all-British heavyweight title showdown with WBC champion Tyson Fury.

'The Bodysnatcher' left it late to comply with the deadline for an agreement, which was said to be 6am GMT on Tuesday morning.

However, he is now understood to have put pen to paper at last on a massive fight that is expected to take place at Wembley Stadium or possibly in Cardiff on April 23, though an official announcement is yet to be made.

The bout will finally see long-time mandatory Whyte challenge for full world honours, having won the WBC's interim title against Oscar Rivas back in 2019 and then successfully regained it by avenging his defeat by Alexander Povetkin in Gibraltar last year.
