Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte purses and prize money as blockbuster fight confirmed

Tyson Fury is set to defend his WBC championship against Dillian Whyte on April 23 at Wembley Stadium.

Contracts have now officially been signed by both parties with the all-British blockbuster clash now set to go ahead as planned.

Fury will make his first fight return to home soil after three years of fighting in the USA against Whyte, who has waited for his shot for months.

Whyte secured his WBC mandatory title shot after knocking out Alexander Povetkin last March, while Fury retained the belt with an 11th-round knockout of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight in October.

It has been a tough negotiation period between the two camps with Whyte's team hoping to see their fighter take more than the 20% purse split on offer.

That resulted in the deadline for purse bids being pushed back several times before Frank Warren won with an offer of £31million last month.

20 percent of that figure will go to Whyte - around £6m - as he challenges for a first world title while Fury will take home the remaining 80 percent.

Whyte is also entitled to a £3m bonus payment if he upsets the odds to defeat the Gypsy King.

Matchroom's Eddie Hearn failed with a £24m bid which would have been more favourable to his client Whyte.

The fight will be the second defence of Fury's WBC belt and will go ahead with Whyte being the mandatory challenger for the belt, his first attempt at a world title.
