What about Whyte's head What about Whyte's head butt's, rabbit punching, elbows etc. Give over the push knocked him over because he was out on his feet.
You literally always see guys frame off their opponents and push them back. The fact that Whyte toppled over with this push showed his legs weren't there at all and that he was clearly knocked out. Him getting up on stumbly legs proved it.
Yes it would prevent guy like Whyte getting world ranking too. His whole career had been based on roughhousing.
Let's assume the push was illegal - Whyte still done anyway. If Fury pushed him like that in a normal situation, would Whyte have fallen the way he did?
Does Whyte think he can beat Fury in a rematch?...of course not. Does Whyte want another multi million pound purse for fighting Fury again?.........yes. Whyte is making noise and positioning self for any opportunities that arise, be that Fury carrying out his plan to retire or whatever, as they say "The only bad publicity is no publicity".
The signs have all been there Whyte was never confident in beating Fury. No press conferences and his confrontation with that WBC guy was very telling. Sounded like he fancied his chances against Wilder more than Fury.
Holding on for dear life he won every round and Whyte went back to his corner on shaky legs a few times.
