Wembley Stadium will host one of the biggest all-British fights in history on Saturday.
Tyson Fury wants to strengthen his status as the best fighter in the division. The boxing world will be shocked by Dillian Whyte.
Over the past few days, the hype for the fight has only gotten more pronounced with the fact that Whyte is not participating in news conferences or promotional events until fight week.
The topic of who is earning what and the politics involved can now be put to bed, with the focus firmly on who will come out top.
He has won 31 bouts, with 22 knockouts, and drawn one as a professional. He has won 28, but has tasted defeat twice.
In a true tussle of the boxer versus the brawler, David Haye and JosephParker and boxing trainer Dave Coldwell will be speaking to both fighters.
In 1971 the narrow victory over Henry Cooper by Joe Bugner at Wembley Arena was watched by millions of people on television.
Both bouts are solid examples of all-British bouts which captured the imagination of the general public but, on numbers alone, Fury-Whyte can stake its claim as the biggest.
A post-war European record of 94,000 fans will fill out Wembley Stadium, while the purse bids are the highest in boxing with Queensbury promoter Frank Warren successfully bidding $41m to host the fight.
At the media conference, he said he was ready to rock and roll.
It speaks for itself. It is the highest selling British fight in the history of our sport.
He believes that Lewis-Bruno is a bigger draw than Fury-Whyte.
He says that Bruno was a big hero back then and that the Brits hadn't yet taken to Lewis.
The promotion of the fight was impacted by the self-imposed silence of Whyte. He did not show up at the media conference which allowed him to entertain reporters alone.
While training in Portugal, the challenger kept a low profile. He arrived in London on Monday and attended the media conference on Wednesday.
It was expected that tempers would flare, but it was surprising that the two boxers shared a great deal of respect.
He is a decent man. A decent guy and he has good morals.
He understands warrior code and did not dwell on his previous bad blood. He treated me well and I did the same.
The fight has been overshadowed by the fact that the United States hit seven people with financial sanctions last week.
At the public workout, he insisted that he has absolutely zero involvement with the Irishman, either in a business or advisory role, and dismissed suggestions that it has distracted his preparations.
In my life, I have a massive man trying to punch my face in this week and I have to deal with that so anything else is out of my control and nothing to do with me at all.
The boxing cliche says that it only takes one punch to win a fight in the heavyweights.
He is a good fighter, according to Fury. He is big, small, strong and tough. He has a good punch and has knocked out a lot of men.
After losing to Anthony Joshua in 2015, and then to Alexander Povetkin seven months later, D.W. was knocked out by a 40-year-old Russian.
Haye says that the losses to Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman have little relevance in the boxing ring.
He says that anything can happen in the ring and that Dillian has the best chance of winning. I think he stops Fury at some point.
The Body Snatcher is a tough piece of work, and that is something that Parker is aware of.
The New Zealand fighter says that he has power in both hands and will always be ready.
Outside of the ring, there has been a well documented story about the mental health struggles and weight gain of the fighter. The Gypsy King is considered to be one of the most skilled and elusive boxers of his generation.
The United Kingdom will be the location for the first time in a year for Tyson Fury, who has fought in the United States before.
Although the champion has become a global star in recent years, he is not taking this fight lightly.
He doesn't think there is any complacency in Team Fury or Tyson.
Tyson is going to repeatedly hit him with the jab and knock him out between rounds five and nine.
He plays down his own credentials.
He says he has been bounced off the canvas more times than a bouncy ball. I am a normal boxing guy who has gotten lucky 32 times before.
The father of the champion has criticized Haye for once again predicting a loss for the champion.
John says Haye picked Santa Claus over his son and demanded he be removed from the broadcast team.
Haye says that he would back his son against King Kong. I say it like I see it.
I thought Wladimir Klitschko was going to beat him in 2015, just like everyone did and got it wrong, and I thought he had the ability to knock him out, which he nearly did.
A victory for Whyte would stun the boxing world and make him one of the biggest draws in the sport.
He will be catapulted into international boxing stardom with a win bonus on offer and as a free agent not tied to any promoter.
He says the hard yards Whyte has put in over the years could now pay off.
While he has been mandatory for years, he has taken some great fights that have added to his experience.
Haye and Parker would like to see the winner of the Tyson-Whyte fight face off against Joshua.
It has to be the undisputed next. The biggest all-British title fight of all time will happen if Anthony Joshua claims those belts back.
He won't be lured in by the prospect of capturing all of the belts, but he will retire from the sport after this fight.
This is it. In the city. It is the epitome of everything, according to Fury.
There is no amount of money or belts that I haven't already won.
