DARK SECRETS: Tyson fury vs dillian whyte undercard criticism draws frank warren response | Vintage Vibes

Tyson Fury's promoter Frank Warren has had to defend the undercard for next Saturday's title fight against Dillian Whyte fight at Wembley. Fury's younger brother Tommy will feature the undercard bill as he comes up against Polish veteran Daniel Bocianski following December's cancelled fight with Jake Paul.

Also on the card is Anthony Cacace vs Jonathan Romero, Isaac Lowe vs Nick Ball, David Adeleye vs Chris Healey and Kurt Walker vs TBC. Warren has accepted the criticism of the undercard, stressing that the event sold out its 94,000 allocation based on the quality of the main event.

Warren and his co-promoter Bob Arum won the rights to stage the fight with a £41 million purse bid, topping Eddie Hearn and Matchroom's £32 million bid. There was controversy surrounding the bids, with the deadline pushed back multiple times due to Whyte's insistence on a higher share than the proposed 80:20 split.
