Frank Warren is planning to make Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte a record-breaking fight in the UK.

Tickets for the heavyweight showdown at Wembley Stadium went on sale on Wednesday and sold 85,000 in three hours.

Fury toasted the success of the tickets sales on Instagram, thanking fans for snapping them up

Writing on Instagram, WBC champion Fury said Warren had begun the process of applying to the local authorities to extend the capacity to 100,000 fans, which would make it the largest post-war boxing attendance in UK history.

"The demand was instant and at a staggering level," he added, explaining that the virtual queue on ticketmaster peaked at 170K where prices varied from £61 to more than £2000.

Warren said he wasn't surprised by any of it.

"This illustrates just what a big draw Tyson has become, his personality is infectious and he truly is a champion of the people."

Fury shared comments from fans on his social media channel, who revealed where they were in the queue for tickets.

He then posted a video of himself to his story with a small glass of beer thanking fans.

"This is for all the people who bought tickets today at Wembley and made it a sell out.

"I salute them."
