There will be a British referee but no British judges for Tyson Fury's WBC heavyweight title defense against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23.
Despite both boxers coming from Britain, Fury's team requested to the WBC that there should be no British judges for the fight after a series of high-profile judging controversies.
Indeed Fury, who has had his fallings-out with the British Boxing Board of Control in the past, remains licensed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission and will only be temporarily licensed by the BBBoC for the fight.
Mark Lyson, from Liverpool, will be the referee for the fight, the first time he has taken charge of a world heavyweight title fight.
The three judges will be Guido Cavalleri, from Italy, Robert Tapper, from Canada, and Juan Carlos Pelayo, from Mexico.
It will be Fury's first bout in the UK since the summer of 2018, when he boxed on the undercard of Carl Frampton's fight with Luke Jackson in Windsor Park in Belfast. His past five fights have taken place in the United States. four of them in Las Vegas.
