EXCLUSIVE: West Ham's London Stadium is in the running to host Tyson Fury's homecoming fight with Dillian Whyte, as the 60,000-capacity ground rivals Cardiff's Principality Stadium in what would be the first boxing event at the Hammers' home

West Ham's London Stadium is among the candidates being considered to host Tyson Fury's WBC world title defence against Dillian Whyte, set to take place this spring.

The Gypsy King hasn't fought in the UK since his 2018 bout against Francesco Pianeta at Windsor Park in Belfast, fighting on US soil on five occasions since, including three encounters against Deontay Wilder.

The heavyweight giant is now preparing for his UK homecoming, and Sportsmail understands the London Stadium is rivalling the likes of Cardiff's Principality Stadium to host the clash.
