WBC special belt on the line for Fury-White fight

"This unique belt will be presented as a special trophy to the winner of the highly anticipated fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and interim champion Dillian Whyte," WBC President Mauricio Suleiman said in a statement.

The fight will be the main event of the evening, which is scheduled for April 23 at Wembley Stadium. The fight will be watched live by 94 thousand people, which is a record for boxing events in the 21st century.

The previous record was set in April 2017 when an estimated 88,000 spectators gathered at Wembley to watch the heavyweight bout between British superstar Anthony Joshua and former champion Wladimir Klitschko. The Joshua-Klitschko evening also attracted the second largest boxing audience in British history.
