Bob Arum: "Whyte should sit down with myself and [Fury's UK promoter] Frank Warren and work out a deal for a guarantee, and we'll get this show on the road. "Come to the table and let's see if we can carve out a real deal. "Let's quit screwing around. "I don't know Dillian but I would think he wants the fight. I don't know his psyche. "Let's let Oleksandr Usyk fight Anthony Joshua, which is contracted, and let's get Fury to fight Whyte."
Really, how many millions does Whyte thinks he should get for simply challenging for the title? Please, seriously, what is the answer to that? How many millions?
Exactly. It's strange that someone who's so obsessed about fighter earnings and splits hasn't grasped the fundamental concept that it's the governing bodies (not the fighters themselves!!) who decide the splits. None of these guys are "scared" of each other - it's such a juvenile concept that just titillates morons.
Whyte is under rated in my opinion, one of the best boxes in the division with a long reach, can take a good shot and give one. Fury is by far the best in the division and I do think he beats Whyte but given the choice he wouldn't take this fight. I think for Fury this will be a tougher fight than Joshua or Usyk.
Whyte tougher than Usyk for Fury? I am wonder how you have arrived at that hypothesis. I also don't believe Whyte will be tougher than Joshua, but Usyk.... Usyk will be incredibly tough for Fury. Whyte, once upon a time, could take a good shot. I reckon that Joshua, alone, eroded Whyte's punch resistance significantly.
That was not for the WBC belt which have their own rules Fury wasnt a WBC Interim Champion Fury was ranked #1 for 3 years in the sanctioning body Fury wasnt as big a draw as Whyte is today in the UK Apples to Oranges actually, planet earth to planet mars
Fury got up to knock out his opponent in the seventh round. Whyte wasn't able to knock out a wank for several months after he was sparked clean out. Aside from that, Whyte has been down a few other times from what appear to be "phantom punches".
Except there is no logic or evidence to support that as Whyte has the vastly superior and robust CV. whyte has taken the riskier fights, whats the riskiest fight Fury has taken??! Nada NOTHING!!!! What has he risked???? Please give me a troll response like “he risked his health” LMAO Bottom line, Whyte openly cares about thr money and thr split. Fury repeatedly said with a straight firm face “I dont care about the money” “I drove a mercedes when i was a teenager” “i made money from klitckho fight and got bored of the rich lifestyle money doesnt give me happiness” “im going to donate my purse to charity” Fury can easily say what the purse split can be and override corrupt WBC and save face. because Whyte is not the next available guy and he aint a basic challenger which warrants 80/20 he is mando, #1 ranked, interim champion, extremely high UK commercial value compared to 99.95 percent of all available boxers.
why did he go down in the first place against a 6 ft 3 90kg cruiser????? who is mediocre and only has 12 kos in 40 fights???? thats pathetic for the “bonafide” 6 foot 9 280 pound goliath heavyweight proclaimed to be gods gift to boxing. look how hard he went down
What's with the single-line spacing after every line? The riskiest bout Whyte has ever taken was against .... Paint Dry Parker (lol). The riskiest bout Fury has ever taken was against Deontay Wilder, after having spent 3 years out of the ring.
As I've said, he literally got back up to knock him out in the 7th round. Did you miss Fury vs Wilder late last year when Fury took a hellacious shot flush, and he still got up to knock Wilder out? This is why you have no credibility, claiming that Whyte has a better chin than Fury. Next you'll be claiming he has better footwork, upper-body movement, jab and "ring IQ".
for damn sure it would be a tougher fight and Fury knows it. I read his body language and voice when asked about it. I can see in his eyes that something did happen to him when sparring whyte. whyte is way tougher than most people give him credit for because when it comes to whyte and his bouts people want to conveniently ignore the disadvantages he has had with a limited amateur background. Whyte got KOd by two legit, explosive, skilled heavyweight KO artists. No shame in that. And he gave as good as he got. He was destroying Povetkin before that sweet shot landed on him and against AJ he went toe to toe for 7 rounds taking massive bombs and he rocked AJ hard in round 2 he lifted 6 ft 6 245 pound AJ clean of his feet with a left hook. only guy to KO chisora and he did it in devastating fashion. Chisora is renowned for his toughness and granite chin. And whyte had him so unconcious that Chisoras trainer was clutching the lifeless body praying to god he would wake up. and then Whyte overcame the 16 year skill gap and x2 hand speed of parker the ex WBO world champion who was also 4 years younger. Parker beat Ruiz thr guy who beat AJ. and Parker was more motivated for Whyte fight than AJ after being criticised heavily for playing it safe against AJ. At the end Parker said Whyte won the fight because he wanted it more. He didnt complain about the cards or the headbutt in his own words he said “whyte taught me a lot in that fight”
