Whyte is the only problem for Fury vs Usyk dream fight. I think bodybuilder will step aside because he looks milder at the moment. He knows that he will never beat Usyk. I hope Whyte doesn't insist on fighting Fury.
Whyte is not a problem for either Fury or Usyk. He'd be a very easy fight for Fury, the result would be a knockout as Whyte doesn't have a decent chin.
Saudis are desperate to sports wash right now But have they got £20/30m to blow just to pay off someone like AJ? Then you think Usyk/Fury are going to be happy with getting any less? Saudi's aren't paying out £100m for Fury Usyk. Fury AJ yes. They will just pay for Usyk AJ...and not pay the extra 20m for nothing. Infact they can pay £10m to have Fury at ringside.
Whyte should be grateful to even be in this position after Povetkin starched him in an elimination bout. Perfect world - Fury vs Usyk worlds best Whyte vs Joshua (huge moneymaker) Britain’s best to see who fights winner Wilder vs Ruiz Jr. Settle America’s best
I guess if you're Saudi Arabia you get it done as a 2 fight deal. Say throw £160M at the events. Joshua gets £70m. Winner of Fury/Usyk gets £70m and the loser gets £20m Plucking numbers out of my ass here but its the only way I see it working. You'd have to sell both fights as a package I reckon. It won't happen either way.
Wouldn't be surprised if Fury drops that belt instead of fighting Whyte so he can get the big money with Usyk,,,,,,I would.
He probably would too if Fury v Usyk was a mega money making fight, but alas its not. AJ still the money man of the division imho
Whyte pissed off the WBC so they will stretch out his court action for years. More chance Fres getting his WBA shot before Whyte get his WBC..
