The braggadocious Tyson Fury has backed up his behavior to date. Fury ended Wladimir Klitschko’s reign as the unified heavyweight champion in November 2015, and he has refocused his efforts since taking a long hiatus from the ring. Fury had to give up his titles after not fighting for over 30 months, but he has battled back to show that he is the most fearsome heavyweight in the division.

Fury proved he was better than Deontay Wilder after his first challenge for the WBC heavyweight belt resulted in a draw, as he scored knockout wins over Wilder in his last two fights over the last two years. The Gypsy King has unmatched size and strength at 6’9 with an 85-inch reach, and opponents have had a hard time getting inside on Fury.

Dillian Whyte will be at a significant disadvantage despite being 6’4 with a 78-inch reach. This is the biggest fight to date for Whyte after he rebounded from a knockout loss to Alexander Povetkin two years ago to knock out Povetkin in the fourth round last March. His only other blemish came over six years ago when he lost to then-golden boy Anthony Joshua by seventh round TKO.

There will be plenty of antics in the run-up to this fight in order to sell tickets and draw attention to the event, as Queensberry Promotions broke the bank with a whopping $41 million bid to promote the fight. However, there’s little doubt that Fury is the top heavyweight in the sport currently, and Whyte is a deserving foe after the Wilder trilogy.
