    THIS.

    EH wants to capitalise on a Whyte V AJ rematch down the line and there is no way he will gain optimal revenue if Whyte has another loss before it.

    It is a tricky one because in no way is Whyte a talented boxer and he is pretty lucky to have such high rankings.

    I find Dillian entertaining and he seems to work hard but he is never gonna set the world on fire. He had his 'risky' fight against Chisora and will be handled with cotton wool until he has served EHs needs.

    A fight with Jennings isn’t going to happen on 2 weeks notice though is it….

    It’s just a keep busy, ticking over fight leading to the big fight he’s after nearer the end of year.

    Also to get his profile up in the states.

    Mansour declared he was interested in fighting Whyte, but he heard that he was "too small & southpaw". Few days later Michael Grant was announced as his opponent...

    I don't think we're even talking about Abell/Rossy kind of journeymen. Abell is headlining a show in Poland on 9th of September, so he is out. My guess would be someone like Joshua Tufte/Malcolm Tann/Jeremiah Karpency, this level of opposition at least.

    I don't wanna sound like an idiot

    but surely going stateside to get some exposure and banging out a known name rather than a nobody is going to make people pay attention more right??

    when whyte wins and calls out wilder wilder will be like 'who did you just beat???'

    hearn should put his hand in his pocket

    I find the whole, "American Debut" rather cringe worthy, playing out as if the US market is the be all and end all.
