Whyte has been unhappy with his treatment in the build-up, failing to show for the first press conference to announce the fight, but those issues seem to now be resolved.

The heavyweight title fight will take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, April 23 and talkSPORT will bring you full, exclusive coverage of the blockbuster bout.

We’ll also have the build-up, interviews and latest news throughout fight week too.

Here’s what the two superstar fighters have in store before they clash under the lights...

Fury vs Whyte: Press conference

Whyte failed to show up for their first media outing on March 1 as Fury fielded questions by himself.

The Gypsy King continued to entertain, though, posing for fight pictures on his own with promoter Frank Warren pretending to separate him from the absent Whyte.

However, the pair were complimentary towards each other as they finally came face-to-face for the first time in the final pre-fight press conference on Thursday, April 20.

They even shook hands after a staredown that was interrupted by Fury's father John and a member of Whyte's camp having a heated exchange on stage.

As matters threatened to escalate, three days out from Fury defending his WBC title against Whyte at Wembley Stadium this weekend, it was left to the fighters themselves to defuse the situation.

"Sometimes you have to be a bit diplomatic," said Fury (31-0-1, 22KOs) after the press conference. "Both teams were up on the stage so it was up to me to calm it all down and sort it out.

"Both men are getting paid to do a fight, why do it for free three days before? There would be no point paying to see it. Let's save it all for the night and not all end up in a police van."
