WBC authorizes Fury vs Whyte in 2022

Fury just fought 3 weeks before the scheduled date for Whyte/Wallin, so he will only be ready to fight again around the same time as the winner of Whyte/Wallin would’ve been. So Whyte didn’t pull out of the Wallin fight to directly fight Fury, he pulled to avoid taking an L and losing out on the title fight altogether. Those are two completely different things.

When you sign to fight an opponent, force them to go through a training camp, pay for trainers and sparring partners and all that, only to back out at the last minute faking an injury because you don’t want to risk your future title shot, that’s a duck. As blatant and as shameless as it comes.

 

I feel a bit sorry for Wallin, but not that much. He didn't earn a shot. His best win was against ****ing Breazeale, who was out of shape and back from like a 2 year lay off. Wallin has no impressive wins under his belt.

He didn't earn a shot at becoming mandatory. He was lucky to get the Whyte fight in the first place.

Wallin was there to give Whyte a fight if needed, but was never essential.

I understand if Whyte doesn't want to risk his shot, and I'd prefer Whyte vs Fury than Wallin vs Fury 2.

Whyte vs Fury is a far more mouth watering prospect just because of the characters involved.

 

I agree that Fury/Whyte is more intriguing than Fury/Wallin 2, even though I very strongly favour Fury. But we can also agree that if Whyte had gotten Arreola fight instead of Wallin which was their original target, this “injury” would not have occured.

 

Congratulations to Whyte on achieving his hearts desire to fight for the prestigious WBC Heavyweight championship of the world. He will fulfil his incomplete destiny by losing to Tyson Fury.

 

I'm hoping plenty of casuals / mug punters are swayed by the Matchroom hype to bet on Whyte, so I can go all in on Fury at the best possible price.

I'm sure @Mitch87 will be one of those who is all in on Whyte. And everyone here knows why that is.

 

And after Whyte is on the receiving end of a one-sided pasting from Fury and thoroughly decimated, he will likely get a pointless rematch which Hearn will have inserted into the contract. Hurrah!

 

The card that will be headlined by the inevitable rematch could bear the name of 'Death Wish II'.

One can only surmise that Hearn doesn't like Whyte very much.

 

Because I called for the the underdog right in the Joyce vs Dubois, Usyk vs AJ and Groves vs Eubank fights?

 

The thing about it though is that you have to give a man a chance to get some good wins. If not Whyte, then who?

Wallin, after he cut up Fury and all to scored the upset, is your classic high-risk, low-reward guy, and since boxing has no system to make fighters fight each other, Allin will be avoided for another 4-5 years until he is an old-guy heavy and in decline.

Apparently Whyte proved his injury...so fine. He has been the Mando for the better part of the last four years, and I get his point of view. But the least Eddie Hearn can do is find Wallin a good name, and I don't mean Babic.

 

...poor Einar.
