    Hearn should pay Charr a few quid over the odds and get him to the O2 for Whyte with that regular WBA belt that he’s been holding hostage.

    I never understood why Brezeale went ahead of him. What was the reason for that? Or did they never bother to give one?

    Breazeale was called to fight in a WBC final eliminator and he won it. Was his fight against Molina I believe

    Absolute joke this.

    Whatever you think of Whyte why can't Wilder fight him in May or June assuming he beats Fury of course ???

    Honestley I think it's because he is with Hearn. If not I think Whyte would have had his shot ages ago.

    This is it in a nut shell
    Hearn with all the billy big balls chat when he first went to America upset all the old school over there and they convinced their fighters to not have anything to do with him
    Its thawed slighted now but the PBC Cult is strong and Whyte aint ever fighting Wilder and if he does get a WBC shot it will be when the franchise belt means more financially to PBC

    Its annoying and wrong but slightly amusing

    To be fair nobodys arguing that point
    It just looks to have done Whyte a diservice in the process

    Happy new year all

    Povetkin or Andy Ruiz Jr is being lined up for Whyte in April according to the used car salesman.

    I think Whyte's best option is to bite the bullet and take that rematch with AJ this year.

    Agreed ,although i think AJ will low ball him again for laughs

    I cant see Ruiz fighting under Matchroom again if im honest

    I think he will now be used by Uncle Al in the same manner he uses his fighters that have any value

    And regardless of his last performance he does now have name value

    Contractually correct but its the association that i thinks put him in this position

    He is viewed as a Match room fighter by the general public

    That should make him business savvy and open for negotiation no ?

    Should do but in the WBC scenario the other party is not interested in negotiations

    But then on the flip side he turned down the AJ fight even with a 50/50 rematch clause
