    June?
    So no AJ rematch in the summer, I suppose.

    Dillian should be fighting Hrgovic.

    Dubois would still be nice.

    Wallin, Takam, Kabayel or McKean, all decent options.

    A matchup with Luiz Ortiz is still intriguing.

    All of them are possible expect McKean who is fighting Parker

    WBC aged out Whyte & now he is left between a rock & a hard place.

    He's an overachiever who has earned millions upon millions. I wouldn't feel too bad for him

    Has he made millions all up? What were his purses for the AJ, Parker, Fury fights?

    Wonder how many deducted his pay, was reading about a 2 million pay with the fighter only getting $345,000 of the 2 Mil after paying out all his management companies, trainers, promoters, crazy.

    I would quite like to see Whyte-Wallin.

    I doubt we'll see it. Dillian's "brother" "Dean Whyte" recently said that Whyte should continue to avoid Wallin as he's too tall, too southpaw and too good a mover.

    Whyte got well over 5 million GBP for the Fury fight alone. So yes, if he is not set for life financially by now after having fought the likes of Joshua and Parker too, I'd say that's on him.

    He made about $7 million against Fury ALONE. There are FAR more talented boxers throughout history who have made a tiny fraction of that in their entire careers.

    It’s completely ridiculous that people push this “Whyte is a victim, boohoo” narrative when he’s one of the most privileged overachievers in boxing history. The guy got a title shot after going 1-1 with a shot Povetkin for god’s sake.

    Yeah that's good pay & if the WBC weren't on their usual corruption scheme & making him go in circles then he would have had that title shot a lot earlier & that's the whole point & not when he had been through the ringer by the time he even got to Fury as he was well down & he never got the Wilder fight when it was a lot more interesting for the fans.

    All of those were mildly successful PPV´s with large gates.
    He´s probably made at least 1mil in 5 of his last 10 fights. And I think it´s fair to say that he has made easily over 15 million in his career. After taxes and expenses, no matter how you cut it; Dillian Whyte is a multimilionaire.
