    I clearly remember Dillian being asked on talksport radio about his shoulder injury and the Wallin fight pull out, he dodged the question and said 'there's going to be a statement released', and he refused to comment further or give any detail as he's not a doctor.

    Weeks later, still no statement, still no evidence that he was injured.

    It seems that 'statement' got lost, the same as the statement he was going to issue on the missing b sample which mysteriously never appeared, and the truth never came out.

    He had a case of Ottoitis that spread to his shoulder overnight.

    Usyk in 2022 would be a better win than Holyfield in 1999, for comparison.

    I am aware of that I have followed Fury’s career.

    He may retire soon and even if he doesn’t Lennox beating Mercer, Morrison, Holyfield (twice), Tyson, Tua, Briggs, Mavrovich, Bruno, Mason, Golota, McCall, Ruddock, Klitschko etc puts him well ahead of anything in this era he can beat.

    Now enjoy your weekend and the fight tomorrow night. Aka Teo inside 2 rounds.

    Almost forgot - also stopping Bowe in the 1988 final!

    Holly was passed prime and had been in wars it's obviously a better win beating a fresh Usyk with less than 20 fights..

    Well let me start by stating that I have already provided several valid points for those who think objectively on Fury’s reluctance to fight Whyte, to recap:

    - Money has never been an issue for Fury as stated by his own tounge countless times
    Money has always been an issue for Whyte when negotiating and in this case 45% split is the recommendation by the WBC so Fury is the one being difficult. Is Whyte a nobody? Nope he is a name with over 2.5 million PPV buys to date and sold out 20k arenas several times

    - Fury has always stated that he would give Whyte a shot if he became WBC because Whyte deserves it, now he is backpeddling hard.

    - Fury was happy to fight less ranked, lesser experienced fighters (four of them) but doesn’t want to prioritise the long running #1 WBC contender and Interim Champion Dillian Whyte. It’s like not aconowledging the guy at the front of the queue.

    - Whyte is a bigger name than anyone else outside of AJ right and Usyk right now for a matchup

    - Fury’s own family agree Whyte deserves a shot for sure

    - Fury is lucky to even be the champ having been plucked out of never never land way outside the WBC roster to fight Wilder meanwhile Whyte at the front of the queue for 700 days at #1

    - So those are all the reasons to fight Whyte, and all the evidence of Fury fighting lesser opponents instead discounting Wilder because any tom dick and harry would jump at the oppurtunity to fight the champ (wilder at the time) so I dont give Fury credit for fighting Wilder.

    So then now Fury is saying he is only interested in Usyk yet Usyk is tied to a rematch and Fury needs a fight in the meantime.

    In my opinion Fury sees Whyte as a greater challenge than Wilder so high risk low reward, because unlike Wilder... Whyte has boxing ability to go with power.

    Wilder is just a one trick pony running around Fury trying to chuck his 1,2 like a javelin until the very end.

    People can disagree all they want,
    Ive stated facts. Fury is looking for a fight, Whyte is willing to fight Fury... and Fury is not stating that he wants to fight Whyte since becoming WBC champ. Complete opposite of what he was saying earlier.

    whyte has a track record of demonstrating his willingness for a title shot, Whyte offered 11 million dollars to fight Wilder.

    instead, all the other contenders got a chance and didnt put any money up at all, just got it for free
    Bar Breazeale who was a mando.

    290K PPV and 11k attendees

    Thats 10 times the PPV and three times the attendees of Fury vs Schwarz.

    Four times the entertainment. LOOOL all of that for an unknown guy in Rivas

    Dillian is a boss.

    I disagree wholeheartedly. I think Whyte's an easy night's work and I do think this fight will happen early next year.

    Other than that you've made some good points.

    Hey if Whyte is so easy for these guys sign the contract? Lol

    all Whyte wants is the
    Opportunity, he shouldn’t have to beg when he has earned it and putting big money upfront. Wilder never agreed and now Fury is saying not interested.

    Thats weird. Regardless if Whyte would lose, weird they wont just fight him and call it a day.

    Fury vs a big name does the same numbers belt or no belt.

    He hands it back Dillian can take a bigger piece of a much smaller pie.

    I honestly think Aydamn isn't very well. Quite worrying how someone can obsess over a fighter like this.
