Frank Warren, in an interview with IFL TV, confirmed that he already has official confirmation from the British Boxing Bureau that in the fight for the WBC heavyweight belt between Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) will not be served by British judges.

The Gypsy King promoter pushed for a foreign judging panel after a mixed verdict in a clash between Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor.

The Fury-White fight will take place on April 23 at London's Wembley Stadium. Since the fight is a mandatory title defense, and its organizer was determined by a promotional competition, Fury will not be eligible for a rematch in the event of a loss.
