A significant amount of sniffer dogs looking for cocaine and other drugs are set to be part of a beefed up security plan for Tyson Fury’s bout with Dillian Whyte on Saturday, claim reports.
‘Gypsy King’ Fury faces Whyte in an all-British fight for the WBC heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, with 94,000 fans expected to descend under the arch – which would make it the biggest British boxing event ever.
And according to the Guardian the tough security will include ‘high numbers’ of sniffer dogs to prevent the violent scenes of the Euro 2020 final.

British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Robert Smith said: ‘From what I understand from the meetings we’ve had with Wembley security and personnel, they’ve beefed it all up a little bit since the Euros when they were caught unawares.
‘We’re not being blasé but we’ve done Wembley before and we haven’t had many problems. Obviously, we’re always very wary with regard to any event. Anything can happen. But, at the present time, everybody seems satisfied with what is in place.’
Police, security staff and stewards will provide a clear presence both inside and outside the stadium in an attempt to nip any trouble in the bud before it develops.

The Metropolitan Police made 51 arrests in connection with trouble at the final, 26 of which at Wembley, and the force say their investigation is ongoing.
Britain’s head of football policing Mark Roberts has warned the increasing use of cocaine at sporting events is leading to escalating anti-social behaviour.
