He has just been guaranteed 12.6m dollars (£9.3m) if he beats Tyson Fury in his world title shot, there is no rematch clause so if Whyte wins he will be free to negotiate the undisputed fight on a 50-50 basis where he is likely to earn north of $30m. So why is Whyte sulking in silence? Does he have such an inflated ego and false opinion of himself that he feels he actually deserves more than 20 percent? Is he mad because he was real desperate for that Saudi step aside money before Fury pulled the rug out and laughed at him, making him earn his money? Is he mad that Eddie Hearn has once again failed to back him with the sudden realisation that no matchroom means that Howard Foster no longer has a chance of refereeing the fight or being a judge? If Dillian Whyte was to pull out of this fight and duck Fury just like he ducked Joshua 2 and Otto Wallin, how would you feel about Whyte in future? Why is Dillian so upset when he has a massive platform and a career high payday to finally fight for the world title that hes spent the last 3 years squealing about? Is it not time for Dillian to back himself and prove Tyson Fury is the fraud like he said he was?
He saw an easy step aside payday disappear because of Hearn/AJ Fury is the worst possible matchup for Whyte. He knows it. He shrunk against AJ and Chisora. Fury is going to make him wet himself for the first time ever.
He went marching in and demanded 10 million off the bat and Arum had said that Whyte and his team were really difficult to deal with. Even in December last year Dean Whyte kept saying he wasn't sure if the fight would happen, which was odd - you'd think they would be saying 'we want the fight and will do what we can to make it happen'. I also thought it was really weird that Whyte pulled out of the Wallin fight with a 'shoulder injury'. It would have been a good tune up fight for him and low risk in terms of damage. Whyte also hasn't really given any interviews for a good 3 months now, so it does seem strange.
Because he never really wanted the fight and he doesn’t believe he can beat Fury, simple This is what he’s claimed he’s wanted his whole life, a title shot, and on top of that he has his biggest career payday BY FAR… yet crickets.
Too late for Whyte, he's already took a misstep in dealing with Fury's mind games. Can't be all active on social media acting the big balls then go silent. Give Otto Wallin his shot
Fury should be going on TV Apollo Creed style, shaming and luring the fat out of shape guy to grow some balls and come and have a simple fight!! After all it is only a fight, what is DW so scared of!!!!
I know Whyte is not popular on here. I'm just struggling with the assumption he's really upset based on what? Silence? I'm of the belief that neither really wanted the fight. now it's been made it's only been a few days. It seems some people get a hard on as soon as Tyson opens his mouth. I'm not as I've followed Tyson from the start and understand he can occasionally speak the truth most of what he says is nonsense. So I'll reserve judgement until they're both in the ring.
Fury did say back in early December that he would defend his belt against Whyte if made mandatory challenger. So to that end he hasn't really deviated from his word.
