    Will be announced today it appears.

    Same day as Ryder vs Parker.

    Another top HW in a dissapointing easy fight at the end of the year.

    Hopefully the rumours of a very good undercard are true.

    It's DAZN so doubtful.

    I've read posts on here rumours of Richards vs Bolotniks, Wardley vs Gorman and Babic fighting.

    Will this be a DAZN PPV?

    DAZN Box Office at 29.99 pence extra?

    Chinned in his last fight so no surprise he's getting a soft touch to get a run out at the end of the year.

    Expect he'll be in a big fight again next year.... Wilder, AJ, Ruiz take your pick.

    I wouldn't call Franklin "a top HW"
    he is very unproven

    He's young, fresh and undefeated ( I'm guessing it's the Franklin that I'd undefeated), Whyte is none of those things. He could knock Whyte out.

    possible

    could be a reasonable stepping stone for Franklin maybe, if he wins. but a relatively insignificant match in the heavyweight division.

    Whyte is proven at world level as one of best, whilst Franklin has never fought at world level and he should of lost to Forrest.

    Whyte has fought 2 world level fighters and got chinned against both.

    I think Whyte is toast tbh, his chin is cracked and he can’t keep the weight off. I don’t expect to see any more decent wins from him.

    No, I don’t think so. Remember when Whyte Wallin was announced we thought it would be PPV as it would have been on Sky but it wasn’t, so I don’t think it will.

    Not a great fight but should win comfortably. With the division being pretty tied up surely if both him and dubois win thats the next fight to be made or even whyte Joyce
