    You also forgetting he beat Povetkin and Parker.

    Whilst Wilder best win is against a lesser quality boxer in Ortiz.

    She would be favourite against Wilder if that's the case.

    Povetkin genuinely looked unsteady walking to the ring

    Wilder has looked unsteady on feet since day dot. I normally lose count in a fight that the amount time Wilder falls over whilst "windmilling".

    Franklin’s best win is against Jerry Forrest who has lost on points to Pulev, Hunter, Zhang and Takam. He should be better than Trevor Bryan.

    So he’s somewhere near fringe world level but Whyte should beat him if he trains well and takes the fight seriously.

    Whyte is absolutely done, I don't know why anyone would bother trying to build him up again. He's had his title shot, he's finished.

    Fabio Wardley vs Gorman for the British HW title and Richards vs Bolotniks on the undercard are interesting fights. Strong undercard to make up for the main event.

    Alen Babic could be fighting Oscar Rivas for the WBC World Briderweight Title or Peter Kadiru for the European Heavyweight Title as well. Unfortunately I don't see him fighting either of those guys on the Whyte card but I really hope so.

    As long as this isn’t on PPV this is a good card for DAZN. Gorman vs Wardley is an interesting fight.

    Is he definitely on the card fighting someone else? I do enjoy watching Babic

    Must confess I always watch Babic if I've still got a DAZN sub when he's on. Never a dull fight whatever folk think of it.

    Not quite sure why Eddie didn't go all out for Parker/Ryder. Would of been a belting addition too this card.
