Five thousand more seats have been made available for Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte’s world heavyweight title showdown April 23, meaning it will now break Wembley’s record attendance for a sporting fixture.
Fury is set to defend his WBC strap against Whyte at the national stadium later this month, with the challenger finally getting his crack at world honours after years of waiting.
The pair certainly do not see eye to eye, exchanging a host of insults over the years despite previously sharing the ring as sparring partners.
As a result, tickets for the all-British clash sold out in just 90 minutes last month with UK fight fans eager to witness it unfold first hand.

And after flogging an initial 89,000 tickets, promoter Frank Warren has revealed that the capacity for this month’s bout has now been increased to 94,000.
Should the extra tickets sell out as expected, Fury vs Whyte will become Wembley’s new record attendance for a sporting fixture, surpassing the 90,000 set by Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko back in 2017.
‘I am delighted we are now able to provide four thousand extra tickets for fans to watch the biggest boxing event staged in this country,’ Warren said.
‘I know this in no way gets near to meeting the huge demand, but we were determined to have as many fans as possible attend Tyson Fury’s big homecoming fight.
