Not a single British judge will work one of the biggest fights in England’s rich boxing history.
The British Boxing Board of Control has revealed the judging panel for the Tyson Fury-Dillian Whyte fight Saturday night for Fury’s WBC heavyweight title. Italy’s Guido Cavalleri, Mexico’s Juan Carlos Pelayo and Canada’s Robert Tapper have been assigned to score a 12-round showdown that’ll attract a capacity crowd of 94,000 to Wembley Stadium in London, which will set a British boxing record for attendance.
British referee Mark Lyson has been assigned to officiate Fury-Whyte as well.
Among the judges who will watch Fury-Whyte from ringside seats, Tapper and Cavalleri have respective recent history with Fury and Whyte.
Tapper scored Fury a 114-112 winner over Deontay Wilder in their first fight. Winnipeg’s Tapper was the only judge who credited Fury for beating Wilder in a 12-round bout that resulted in a controversial split draw in December 2018 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Whereas Tapper scored eight of 12 rounds for Fury in their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event, American Alejandro Rochin scored seven rounds for Wilder, 115-111. England’s Phil Edwards scored seven rounds for Fury, but he had it a draw on his card, 113-113, because Wilder knocked Fury to the canvas twice, once apiece in the ninth and 12th rounds.
Cavalleri, meanwhile, scored Whyte a 115-112 winner over Oscar Rivas in their July 2019 bout at O2 Arena in London. The two other judges that night, Liverpool’s Lyson (115-112) and Canada’s Craig Metcalfe (116-111), scored eight and nine rounds for Whyte, respectively.
Rivas dropped Whyte in the ninth round, but a resilient Whyte recovered and won a unanimous decision.
Lyson also was the referee when Russian underdog Alexander Povetkin knocked Whyte unconscious in the fifth round of their first fight in August 2020 at Matchroom Boxing’s headquarters in Brentwood, England. Whyte came back to stop Povetkin in a one-sided rematch a year ago at Europa Point Sports Complex in Gibraltar.
ESPN Pay-Per-View will televise Fury-Whyte as a main event Saturday in the United States (2 p.m. ET; $69.99). BT Sport Box Office will offer the mandated match between Manchester’s Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and London’s Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) as the headliner of a pay-per-view event in the United Kingdom and Ireland (6 p.m. BST; £24.95).
Caesars Sportsbook lists Fury as a 6-1 favorite to beat Whyte.

DOPAMINE FOR MY BABY!!

All Star
Im going to be witnessing this infront of 94k mans at Wembley. This the first live boxing event I'm witnessing ... biggest gating event in the whole of europe of all time.
One thing I will say is ... Whyte is a better boxer than Wilder ... he has fought better opposition than Wilder. This fight is no joke ... I think Whyte can knock him the fukk out but at the same time I can also see Fury outclassing him if he comes with his A Game. Fury looked sloppy vs Wilder in the 3rd fight but he went through a lot of shyt during the buildup ... nearly lost his daugher, was sleeping on hospital floors n shyt. He still beat Wilder just because Wilder cant box for shyt. But Whyte?!
And Whyte lived and trained with Fury 10 years ago for a long ass time, I think Fury didnt try play mind games with Whyte because he knew this wasnt the guy to be trying play games with .... Whyte calls Fury by his real name back in the day, so you know what it is.
Man ... Im fukking buzzing for this fight.

Tyson Fury Comes In Significantly Lighter For Dillian Whyte Bout Than Third Wilder Fight
BY KEITH IDEC

Tyson Fury didn’t deliver on his promise Friday to come in heavier than ever for his showdown with Dillian Whyte.
In fact, he didn’t even come close.
The unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion stepped on the British Boxing Board of Control’s scale at 264¾ pounds for their 12-round title fight Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in London. Fury came in Friday 12-plus pounds lighter than his previous career-high, 277 pounds, his official weight for his third fight against Deontay Wilder six months ago.
The 6-foot-9 Fury emphatically completed his trilogy with Wilder by viciously knocking out the former champion in the 11th round October 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Before October 8, Manchester’s Fury hadn’t weighed in at more than 276 pounds for a professional fight.
Fury weighed 276 in his first fight following a 2½-year layoff, a four-round stoppage of overmatched Sefer Seferi in June 2018 at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
The 6-foot-4 Whyte weighed in at 253¼ pounds Friday. London’s Whyte was six pounds heavier Friday than he weighed for his previous appearance – a fourth-round stoppage of Russia’s Alexander Povetkin in their immediate rematch last March 27 at Europa Point Sports Complex in Gibraltar.
The most Whyte weighed since he turned pro was 271 pounds for a 10-round, unanimous-decision defeat of Poland’s Mariusz Wach in December 2019 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
Fury, 33, has repeatedly stated that he’ll retire after facing Whyte in a main event expected to draw a capacity crowd of 94,000 to Wembley Stadium in London, which would establish a British boxing record. Whyte, 34, is the mandatory challenger for Fury’s title, despite that Povetkin knocked him unconscious in the fourth round two fights ago.
Most sportsbooks list the undefeated Fury as a 6-1 favorite to beat Whyte, who has lost only to Povetkin and former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champ Anthony Joshua. England’s Joshua stopped Whyte in the seventh round of their December 2015 bout at O2 Arena in London.
The battle between Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) will headline an ESPN Pay-Per-View event in the United States (2 p.m. ET; $69.99) and a BT Sport Box Office pay-per-view show in the United Kingdom and Ireland (6 p.m. BST; £24.95).
