The all-British World Title Showdown is the ultimate in THINGS
After his back-toback wins over Deontay wilder in Las Vegas, Tyson Fury is now the WBC heavyweight champion.
The Gypsy King retained his title with an emphatic knockout in October. Unification against Anthony Joshua was also planned.
AJ lost his title defense to Oleksandr Uzyk, and Fury now turns his attention to Dillian Whyte.
The WBC named Whyte as the mandatory challenger. They have 30 days to negotiate a fight or Fury will vacate his crown.
When is Tyson Fury vs Dillian Howte?
- There is currently no date confirmed for the all-British showdown.
- However, it is possible to make it around February 2022 or March 2022.
- Fury has not fought in the UK in over a year since 2018, when he faced Sefer Seferi, Manchester, and Francesco Pianeta, Belfast.
Where is the fight taking place?
Although it is most likely that the event will take place in Cardiff or Manchester, details are not yet known.
Fury would make his return to the North West if he made it back to his roots three years after his win over Seferi.
The fight would be a great event for UK fighter fans. It is likely that the bout will take place at a more friendly time than the wilder 5am GMT epics.
What TV channel will it be and what live stream?
Again, there are no details about the fight at this time.

The fight will almost certainly be a pay per view event, and the platform on which it is shown will depend on the promoter.
Fury vs Wilder 3 costs PS24.95 to view on BT, and we expect something similar for this all British title clash.
Eddie Hearn stated: "I don't think Tyson Fury will care who promotes this fight."
"That's why I think a purse bid is most likely here, I don’t think Fury will care if Bob Arum supports it.
"He will think only about who has the most money. If I were a fighter, I would simply be interested in seeing who has the most money to fight.
"But Dillian can fight on another promoters show, and we will be there supporting him and behind him, but he wants it to be on a Matchroom program."
They said it!
Tyson Fury "They are all only workouts for me, and I'll destroy any man that comes infront of me."
"It's due an easy fight anyway. [Dillian Whyte] really is ideal.
To be sincere, I want a heavy bag on my legs. He's the ideal candidate.
Dillian Whyte "Fury was mandated to fight with me twice.
He requested the WBC Diamond' belt to be my opponent, but he ran away when they said yes. He just keeps making excuses.
"Hopefully, he doesn't have any other choice. What is he going to do about it? Toss the belt in the trash and get more money than he spent fighting Wilder.
"[Of Course] I'll finish him."
