Huge heavyweight boxing match set for this Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London
No hype needed this Saturday as the lineal heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury takes on fellow Brit Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in London for the WBC heavyweight title. It's one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year and millions of fans from across the world will be desperate to tune in and watch the action.
But when and how can boxing fans in Arkansas tune in to watch Fury vs Whyte?
With the fight happening across the pond, and not in Vegas as you may have expected, the time difference could play a factor for some fight fans. The main card begins at 7pm BST (2pm Arkansas time), with the main event ring walks set to take place at 10pm BST (5pm Arkansas time).
This event could be a fun one to enjoy at a barbeque with it starting and finishing nice and early on Saturday afternoon/evening. You will need to have a bet to really make the most of the fun this weekend. This is definitely the fight to bet a dollar or two on. More on that later.
The Gypsy King is of course the heavy betting favourite going into this one. Coming off the back of two wins over Deontay Wilder, which finally drew a line clearly under that saga, Fury is on a collision course with Anthony Joshua. A fight between those two is one which many boxing fans have been crying out for, and one we might eventually see after this contest.
Dillian White is no amateur himself, and while he will be an extreme underdog, strange things can happen in boxing. It's well documented that he's waited over 1000 days for this WBC heavyweight title opportunity and he is sure to give everything he has to make the most of it.
The winner of this fight is likely to meet the winner of Joshua vs Usyk 2 in an historic undisputed world heavyweight title match.
Tyson Fury will hope to do a little better on Saturday than his beloved Manchester United did in midweek against Liverpool. The famous United fan has been vocally frustrated with the team's performance this season but should find some solace in his own outstanding career with another win this weekend.
But how can Arkansas locals enjoy this huge fight?

Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte betting tips
The odds on Fury to win with almost all sportsbooks are so short that they are almost pointless backing. The whole world has all but assumed that the Gypsy King will be victorious, understandably so. Likewise, the odds on Whyte causing an upset aren't good enough either in most places with the chance of him pulling that off extremely slim.
Where punters may find some joy is in the method of victory markets. Some experts are very bullish about the possibility of the fight going the distance, with Fury staying on the outside and using his slick movement to outbox his opponent and have some fun. There is value to be found in this idea.
There's also the possibility that Fury might look for the early finish and a devastating knockout. Choosing a particularly early round and the KO method of victory should produce great odds.
Whether you're checking out the sportsbooks or simply watching the fights, it's sure to be a fascinating encounter between two of the most famous boxers in the world this weekend with a packed stadium atmosphere.
