    Not a bad shout if he can't go the wilder route

    Step down but hey, more easy money...will probably sell out the o2 and be another Ppv card.

    Clear he’s in boxing for the paydays now. Pick up some easy cash and eventually get fed to AJ for a big money payday...

    Who's gonna pay for Whyte v Charr on PPV?

    Anyone know the reports on Whyte v Parker yet? I reckon it did well, and if it did well Whyte v Charr for a title will surely sell, 'stacked undercard' and all that.

    To be fair to Whyte, he's generally in exciting fights. He's earned a shot at the title and doesn't let the fans down excitement wise.

    I still think whyte should fight miller or kabayal next

    That wba belt is a complete embarrassment! Oquendo hasn’t fought since 2014!!!!

    Not a chance this is PPV.

    There doesn’t seem too many options for Dillian except high risk ones which he doesn’t really need to take. So it’s a good fight for him.

    I don't understand how Whyte v Charr for a 'world' title is not PPV but Whyte v Parker for absolutely nothing, is?

    If he fights Charr it's surely only to set up the AJ fight.

    Sky and Matchroom can hardly promote him as world champion when it's with an organisation where AJ is the real champion?

    Eddie previously said Miller was the mandatory to the winner of Fres vs Charr.

    Whyte V Charr will be be a one sided KO win for Whyte.

    The WBA regular is a bit of a pointless strap, does it really hold any more value than the WBC Silver, or WBO International?

    However if Wilder won't fight him later this year, he may as well target Charr. He's beatable and he can then claim to be the undisputed 2nd tier heavyweight champ...

    Eddie had no problem billing Frampton vs Quigg as a unification even tho Quigg was just the Regular champion and I’m sure he would have no problem doing the same with Joshua vs Whyte

    But it couldn't be a unification, either the WBA would use the oppotunity to retire one of the two belts, or more likely the Regualr belt would immediately become vacant.

    Tell me another Heavyweight who had a better run of results BEFORE a world title fight..

    Whyte has fought..

    Parker
    Browne
    Helenius
    Chisora

    (Tann was after Chisora but that was keep busy fight in the US)


    I've looked at AJ, Wilder, Povetkin, Klitschko and many others and can't see a better run of results before a world title shot.



    Whyte 100% deserves a world title shot, I hope he gets one and soon.
