    His interview the other day with ifl was really good.

    i'd like to see him on TV more giving his opinions

    In terms of fighting - it's just going to be decided by how dedicated he gets. Truth be told he'll probably end up as the guy who 'staggered AJ' and probably nothing moe than a British/fringe euro title

    Yeah, I do worry he'll end up a bit like Chisora, but I really hope for better achievements from him. Sounds like a positive sign, lets hope he isn't too protected and easily matched, though.

    If his shoulder genuinely went on him badly in the aj fight, which im inclined to believe due to him going straight in for surgery afterwards, then who knows what may have happened in that fight.

    I have got a feeling he's going to go quite far. Or at least become a genuine world contender wether he ever beats the very best not sure but he will bypass what chisora has achieved im sure. He's still only 28 years old which is young for a heavy weight

    AJ v Whyte 2 is definitely what they are looking for.
    It's a good fight but no one can take Hearn's talk of AJ being a proper world champion and looking towards a Fury/Wlad winner fight this years at all seriously.

    The kid needs go get fit first and foremost. No excuses to be unfit as a paid Pro. If he's fit his boxing will improve. He has a lot to learn but there's no denying he's got talent.... If he's fit

    Decent move but Whyte needs to do some serious training to get in some sort of shape if he wants to mix it at world class

    I expect 2 warm ups then Allen, Chisora and or Pulev, Price AJ

    He'll go further than Chisora because he has more power. His chin is verging on granite and he genuinely loves to fight.

    Hearn has employed him solely as Joshua's gatekeeper.
    If he blocks enough contenders he will get a second payday.

    Cannon fodder
