Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte is set to take place on April 23rd this year. The fight sold out within hours of the in-attendance tickets going live.

Earlier reports suggested that the promoters would try to increase the capacity of the stadium to 100,000 to break the in-attendance record and deal with the high demand of tickets. Michael Benson reported the new in-attendance limit set by the authorities:

"Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte is set to break the British boxing attendance record as the local authority have granted a request to extend maximum capacity to 94,000 at Wembley Stadium on April 23rd."

Take a look at the tweet:

Fury vs. Whyte has been a long time coming. 'The Body Snatcher' has been looking to get a title shot for the past three years. 'The Gypsy King', on the other hand, is boxing in the UK for the first time in almost 4 years away. The all-British battle is in huge demand among British fans.

'The Body Snatcher' has refrained from helping promote the fight and showing up to press conferences. 'The Gypsy King' has been single-handedly carrying out the promotions for the fight. It will be interesting to see how Whyte performs against his former training partner in one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, Wembley Stadium.
