    Me too, but it was completely unnecessary really. We all really wanna see Fury vs Whyte.

    This is what I see

    Ticket sales are not great as Wallin isn't a huge name, undercards have been a struggle

    So a small injury makes it easy to call it off, as Wallin was a big risk and Whyte has the golden ticket to the chocolate factory waiting with the Fury fight.

    I had a funny feeling around this fight. Not surprised at all its been called off. I don't think it will be re-scheduled either.

    More like pussied out. All in wallin would of probably checked that glass jaw one time.

    There would be shards of that roided chin everywhere. Bob was right all along.

    They won't do anything, Whyte just has to hope Fury will make the fight.

    Nah mate, they'll just promote the Babic to main event.

    Strikes me as he's probably had a bit of a rough camp and has had second thoughts on risking his mandatory status especially given how much the WBC has ****ed him over in recent years. I've got tickets so pretty gutted, will be interested to see what dire main event they can put together on 2 weeks notice

    Shame, was an interesting match up with some stakes as the winner was assured of a mandatory shot soon.

    Lol at the conspiracy theories after every cancellation. Whyte voluntarily chose to fight Wallin, he could of easily just sat on his ass and waited for his mandatory shot. Ticket sales based off of the O2 website look pretty healthy probably about 80% sold with over a week to go. Plus Whyte is looking in the best shape he's been in for ages, if he was always going to pull out why train so hard?
