And another Manchester United defender is at Wembley...
Speaking to BT Sport Box Office, former Man Utd and England defender Rio Ferdinand said: "I think it will be a tight fight. I think Tyson will get the job right but I think Dillian will make him work for it.
"He has made enough money to walk away and be happy, but as a sportsman, I know that fire will still be burning.
"I find it hard to believe he will walk away without fighting Anthony Joshua."

Can't see Fury losing, but then I couldn't see him winning so easily against Wilder - heavyweight boxing? Unpredictable

BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumLast night at Wembley Arena there was a Louis Tomlinson concert. Walking out of the hotel this morning, there were guests with One Direction t-shirts checking out, and boxing fans wearing ‘Gypsy King’ merchandise checking in. Two very different vibes!
It's St George's Day and as such the England flag is flapping against the wind at the national stadium, behind a statue of World Cup winning captain Sir Bobby Moore.

BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumThis family have travelled from Lichfield this morning to cheer on Tyson Fury.
"We were doing Fury's home workouts on Instagram during lockdown and have followed his story since then," Carl says.
Marcus (right) was surprised by his parents, Carl and Nicki, and younger brother Josh with tickets to the fight while celebrating his 18th birthday.
They were on holiday last week and the birthday boy was handed a cake which read 'You're going to see Tyson Fury next week.'
'This is the biggest fight of Whyte's career'published at 21:05 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
Britain's Lennox Lewis remains the last man to be the undisputed world heavyweight champion, when he held all the gold in 2000.
A fight for all the belts looked on course between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, before Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk last year.
Here's what Lewis had to say on tonight's fight.

End of twitter postWe understand 'warrior code' - Whytepublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
And it was very respectful at the news conference earlier this week.
Afterwards, Dillian Whyte spoke to BBC Sport's Ade Adedoyin, which you can watch below.
Whyte to do his talking in the ring?published at 20:57 British Summer Time 23 April 2022

BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumFor the first time since 1993, two Britons will battle it out for a heavyweight title on home soil.
But despite it being such a colossal fight, hype around Fury-Whyte only really picked up during fight week.
Whyte, aggrieved at his share of the split ordered by the WBC, was quiet during the build-up. His self-imposed media silence meant Fury, up until fight week, had to almost promote the fight singlehandedly.
The challenger also missed Monday’s public workout. The first time the two boxers met face-to-face since the fight announcement was at Wednesday’s media conference.
Joyce v Parker set for Julypublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
The main event is yet to take place but promoter Frank Warren is at it again it seems.
Britain's Joe Joyce and New Zealand's Joseph Parker are set to face each other in July, Warren has just said, although a venue has not been named yet.
Looking forward to that one already...

End of twitter post'I think Dillian stops Fury'published at 20:50 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
Time for some more predictions...
Former two-weight world champion David Haye: "I think Dillian stops Tyson Fury on his feet late doors at some stage. If that happens, you would have to go for a rematch. Possibly even a trilogy with those two."
Trainer Dave Coldwell: "I hope it isn't a fight where Tyson is cagey and negative. As a fan I want to see them go at it. I'd like a more positive Fury to come out there to really try and put it on Dillian.
"It's an exciting match-up. For me, there's no clear favourite. Would I say Dillian is an underdog, yes I would, but I would say he's a live dog."
'Zero link with Kinahan' - Furypublished at 20:46 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
Earlier in the week, world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury insisted he has "absolutely zero" involvement with Daniel Kinahan, either in a business or advisory role.
Last week Kinahan was among seven people hit with worldwide financial sanctions by the United States.
Fury, 33, had previously been advised by Irishman Kinahan.
The Briton also confirmed he cut ties with promotional company MTK Global in 2020. The firm, co-founded by Kinahan, announced on Wednesday it is to shut down.
Whyte finally gets his shotpublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 23 April 2022
Kal Sajad
BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumMake no mistake, Dillian Whyte is a live wire in this fight. His left hooks and relentless, come forward, style poses a danger to any opponent – even the elusive and technically gifted Fury. He's trained hard out in Portugal for this opportunity.
The Londoner was first made mandatory challenger for the WBC belt in 2017. Aside from the few months after his loss to Alexander Povetkin, a defeat he avenged, Whyte has been in that number one spot for five years but repeatedly overlooked.
I was speaking to former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis earlier in the week who believes Whyte is one of the most improved fighters in the sport. Lewis was particularly impressed with the way in which he rebuilt his career after losing to Anthony Joshua in 2015 and then rematching, and knocking out, Povetkin in March last year.
Put simply, do not write off The Bodysnatcher.

We've had a few big fights at Wembley over the years.
Back in 2014, the second fight between Carl Froch and George Groves was held at Wembley, with Froch winning via an eighth-round knockout.
Here's Groves explaining what it is like to fight there.
