Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte: 94000 fans to watch the biggest ... (CNN)

"Who would have thought it?" Tyson Fury asked, almost incredulous. "Even we didn't think we'd be doing 90-odd thousand at Wembley."

Curiously, though, Wednesday's press conference was the first time these two fighters had come face-to-face in the build up to this fight. "You lot hear one side because they say a lot of things. "Tyson Fury is not this massive giant superstar everyone says he is, he's not. When Fury first made the claim at the fight's unveiling press conference in March, most took his words with a pinch of salt. "It ranks right at the top." Even forgetting his power and skill, Whyte's hunger alone makes him a formidable foe. "Obviously the biggest crowd [in Europe] and you've got two top heavyweight fighters going head-to-head. Every good dog has its day." This opportunity for a shot at a world title has been long-awaited -- and is well-deserved -- and the 34-year-old is ready to take it with both hands, with multiple reports claiming this has been by far the most intense training camp of his career. Heavyweight boxing has been blessed with numerous memorable fights in recent years, with Fury involved in many of the best, and Parker believes Saturday's fight is "right up there." Much has changed since Fury and Whyte were those fledgling fighters -- "a great journey," as Fury called it -- and the two are now the main attraction in one of the biggest nights in boxing history. That "someone," he specifies, is Whyte. "Tyson is going to knock him out in the middle rounds, between five and nine," Parker adds with assurance.

The WBC heavyweight title is on the line from Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night.

And if his public workout this week was any indication, in which he worked out from southpaw for the entirety, it's likely "The Gypsy King" has a few wrinkles up his sleeve to keep Whyte guessing. In the end, Whyte pushes the pace consistently enough to where it's either him or you that gets stopped. In many ways, Fury's third fight against Wilder last fall was the perfect prerequisite for the challenge Whyte brings to the table. Instead, the 34-year-old Whyte is expected to bring a sturdy challenge to the 6-foot-9 Fury thanks to his 6-foot-4 frame, durability and punching power. I've had a couple slipups along the way, but I'm here and I'm ready to go. Because of that, Fury will need to properly mix his two styles as both boxer and puncher. The fans are in for a real treat," Fury said. Whyte has been known for his often cantankerous ways in the past, which have included storming out of press conferences while protesting his purse. Given Fury's pre-fight comments, it's an inevitability he appears to accept, which is why his predictions have consistently been a knockout. Can't get enough boxing and MMA?
