    It would be a huge upset, does it bring Dillian into the title convo? Who would you want to see him fight afterward?

    Warren said he would look to make the winner of Itauma vs Whyte to fight Parker for the WBO. But I'm not sure he would actually be that keen if Whyte won.

    If Whyte wins, and looks good, I think he could definitely leverage that into a title shot. If he wins but doesn't look that good, then I think guys like Joshua might be eyeing him up as a slingshot back into title contention against a decent name.

    He will be banished from the sports by Queensberry and Turki for not following the script.

    If Whyte wins, we get Whyte-Parker II for the WBO heavyweight title.

    Does Itauma really need one?

    Chisora or AJ again

    People need to get Parker out of their minds he'll be out of the picture soon enough. Shame he isn't getting his Usyk shot to retire off because Usyk is busy cycling off his roids & enriched uranium.

    Yes, you'd have a harder time naming the boxers that don't use roids.

    Yup. We know Parker has been wanting to avenge that loss for years.

    Parker obliterates Whyte regardless if Whyte somehow manages to beat Itauma first...

    Probably in conversation for who Usyk's next challenger should be.

    Would be brilliant say if Whyte wins, and fights Kabayel next whilst Usyk defends against Parker.

    There is a part of me that strongly wants Whyte to win this. I have nothing against Ituama, and all logic says I should be rooting for the next generation, but I am just tired of having these guys forced down our throats when they have no great amateur resume and have not even beat a good gatekeeper at pro level yet.
