https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/188536/188536 So long as he beats Wallin... But this has Whyte vs Povetkin written all over it again. Why would Dillian take this fight if it's not mandatory? ****ing hell, this has upset written all over it again. He's going up against a bigger man who's arguably a better boxer.
I think he's going to beat Whyte, Wallin is mediocre but he's an awful style match up for the roid man but most of my predictions have been off the mark for the past few months so take that as you will
Maybe it's the dearth of information on him, Chisora didn't even know who he was when asked and could be that Whyte didn't either. Might have just remembered him for going 12 with Fury and thought he could do better. He had an interesting immediate reaction to the Joshua loss that I found hard to read. Was he upset for Joshua or just shocked? He ended the interview with 'sh*t, I've got my own sh*t to handle,' which leads into the Wallin fight nicely. This content is protected Credit to Whyte for taking the fight though. I don't rate him that highly as a boxer, hence favouring the upset here, but I do enjoy his personality and clumsy but often effective fighting style.
I remember someone saying on here that Whyte hasn't fought a single southpaw in his career, if that's true then I'm favouring Wallin by decision, provided he doesn't get stiffed on the cards, but the Usyk vs AJ cards give me hope Wallin has a good chin and is better than better than the likes of Rivas (who dropped him) and 2016 Chisora (who arguably won their first fight), this could be a long night for Whyte ALL IN WALLIN
I think this is a 50/50. I think Wallin is a bad stylistic match up for Whyte, but I don’t think Wallin is that good either, his last fight against Breazeale wasn’t that convincing.. I’ll take Whyte decision, he’s got more dog in him
