Thought I’d see if its just me who feels like this: I can’t believe how much Whyte hasn’t improved since the AJ fight, Mentally and physically Seems to be a lot more composed in the ring, can’t recall seeing him lose his head like he did in AJ fight and he is in much better shape To top it off he ain’t scared of anyone .. he’s called em all out when he’s already #1 WBC and could just drag it out and get a title shot. Took the tough path to #1 and I hope he gets his shot and does well
Definitely, well said. Whyte has come a long way, he fights whoever and he is tough as nails..really enjoying following his career.
Do you mean has improved? You could see in his first fight with match room he was a fat blob. Eddie obviously got him a trainer and nutritionist and away he went. He looks leaner every fight. So fair play to him he has put in the work. He’s also game as a badger! He’s still not the best boxer but he has pure heart.
Chisora (past it and arguably lost) Allen (British level) Helenius (went the full 12 in a crap fight/Duhaupas KHTFO in 6) Browne (2 rounds in 2 years and looked like he hadn't trained) Honestly cannot see "the tough road".
Tough road as in he basically self promoted his way to an AJ fight and then now WBC number 1 Rather than holding onto his No1 spot he’s actually tryna take risky fights. Remember a lot of ppl thought Browne would beat Whyte..
I’m not a fan of Whyte but those names wouldn’t look out of place on Wilders championship fights resume. Whyte seems willing to fight anyone and may end up losing his no1 ranking as a consequence. Respect to him for believing in himself
Mark Tibbs Thats all ! Mark is coming along as a world class trainer himself now He has his own goals and Whyte is giving the chance to acheive them as a trainer Tibbs blood is in boxing and they use the sience at luoghborgh University
Am I the only one that is frustrated he isn’t forcing the wilder fight, seems more content to chase money fights rather than win a world title... I think Povetkin could give him hell, though I suspect he is done...looks fleshier with age and didn’t look great against price or the Ukrainian he fought recently...

Thats makes sense now I follow him on twitter and he was posting videos last summer of this garage I just assumed they train in there in the summer so they can keep the doors open !
I don’t really rate Whyte but I respect him. Let’s not forget that he almost took out Juicesha with a destroyed shoulder that needed surgery.
I'm not sure what else he can do publicly to force the Wilder fight.. he's calling him out Povetkin far from a 'money' fight as well. Most fans won't know him in UK apart from those who remember him for KOing price other day
Done very well. Good character too calls out anyone & afraid of no one. Shown himself to a world level heavyweight but I can't see him being a world champion just a good contender. I sense an alliance between himself,Joshua & Hearn.
