Champion wrestler Tyson Fury has a lot at stake in Saturday’s fight. Fury has assured that the match will be the last of his career.
94,000 spectators are expected at London’s prestigious Wembley Stadium on Saturday night as British boxers Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte take each other apart in the WBC Championship. Champion Fury has a lot at stake in the fight, as the 33-year-old has said the match will be the last of his career.
Fury has played as a pro without a loss, with 31 wins and one unresolved. He said last month he was absolutely certain the end of his career.
– I am a two-time undisputed world champion. I have £ 150 million in my bank account and I have nothing more to prove to anyone, Fury said in March.
For 34-year-old Whytelle, the World Cup title match is the first in his career. Fury spoke respectfully about his opponent and denied his position as a clear favorite in the match.
– He’s a good fighter. A good, strong and stubborn man who has knocked out many. He has to be respected, and that’s what I’ve done at my training camp. I have practiced for Dillian as much as (Deontay) Wilder(Wladimir) Klitshkoa or against anyone, Fury stated Wednesday.
– This is heavyweight boxing, either of which can be won in one stroke.
Jamaican-born Whyte has won 28 matches in his professional career and lost two. His father, who turned 13 at the age of 13, spent his youth in the London street gang and was shot and stabbed as a teenager.
– I always find a way to survive and a way to get where I need to go. That’s my strength, Whyte said during the match.
