    If Joshua is serious about wanting to be a real contender at the elite level again, he should push for Hrgovic to be elevated to main event and fight him instead.

    Fury has fought twice the last year or so.

    That's a lot to ask from a guy coming off back to back losses.
    I know we as fans don't like them, but AJ probably needs a few confidence builder fights. The problem is how the sport tries to promote weak confidence builder fights into big events. Back in the old days a fight like AJ vs Whyte 2 would have been a normal HBO fight. Whyte is shot to pieces and AJ coming off 2 losses and a mental breakdown. They have some nerve trying to promote a fight like this as a big event.

    ****ing waste of space. Can’t believe he occupied the HW talks for so long, and a lot of people including some diehard fans were fooled into believing that he was a legit top5 HW and that he was the most hard done by fighter in the division.

    And for a while this bum actually had more fanboying going for him than generational talents like Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue.

    Yes

    Back when Whyte had Eddie Hearn and Sky Sports' full backing.

    Now he doesn't have the same political support anymore.

    In Ukraine they test you and do it often. UK is more problematic because you can eat bore meat and test positive for nandrolone.

    British boxing is starting to become synonymous with drug cheats

    Has and always be a drug cheat and fat bar brawler, he was probably never in serious training and tries to fight Joshua roided to the gills. Whyte has never been a serious boxer, AJ would have broke him in 6 rounds anyway bland I wasnt a big fan of the fight anyway, Whyte again shows again what a dumb ******* he is, literally gifted money shots after taking serious beatings. FOOOOOL

    He beat Franklin recently , which arguably was a tune up for him. But agree that he is low on confidence and his team have to be more selective about possible opponents. I would love to see him in with Hergovic , but not at the expense of a possible wilder fight later down the line. As long as a suitable opponent can be found I think the card can be saved as there's a few good fights in there!

    Bummer. Shyte is an embarrassment. Was looking forward to seeing him KTFO by way of uppercut for the 4th time.

    If a boxer fails drug testing then lifetime ban for first offence, no second chances, Whyte is truly sticking two fingers up to our sport.

    The authorities either have to get tough on drug cheats or make PEDS legal in our sport, and let the teams with the biggest chemistry kits win.
