This is not the first time a Fury fight was allowed to be viewed in a movie theater. Fury’s trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder in October, when he won via knockout, was shown in select theaters. The bout produced more than 600,000 pay-per-view buys in the United States and around 300,000 buys overseas. Other boxing bouts, WrestleMania, as well as MMA events, have also been shown in movie theaters.
Fury made his pro debut in 2008. An English, British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight champion, Fury made himself known when he beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 for the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight titles. A lineal champion, Fury ended up dealing with personal issues tied to his use of drugs and alcohol.
He returned in 2018 and has been better than ever. After fighting Deontay Wilder to a draw, he beat Wilder in a rematch in February 2020 for the WBC title.

Whyte made his pro debut in 2011. He won the interim WBC heavyweight title in 2019 against Oscar Rivas. He was suspended and stripped of the belt after a drug test but was reinstated shortly after. “The Body Snatcher” lost the belt in August 2020 in dramatic fashion against Alexander Povetkin. Whyte won the title back in March via TKO in what was the final fight of Povetkin’s career.
