Top Rank and Queensbury Promotions jointly bid a record $40 million to win the right to promote a WBC heavyweight title fight between champion Tyson Fury and interim champion Dillian Whyte.
Top Rank president Todd duBoef told Yahoo Sports the fight would be April 23 in the United Kingdom. Frank Warren of Queensbury Promotion said a venue hasn’t been selected, but London’s Wembley Stadium would make the most sense given it holds more than 80,000 people.
Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Sport was the only other bidder, putting in an offer of $32 million.
