    So is Whyte going to pull out of the Franklin fight?

    Like Jurgen once said. The PPV mugths will be all over this. Joshua should take a third fight with Ruiz. Try and knock him out this time. Get his confidence back.

    True, but to a boxing head it could be a tactical battle. It is also still the best fighting the best.

    Acting like Whyte isn't an easy fight lol.

    I said this before, Whyte is the perfect confidence builder for Joshua. Whyte is finished as a top level boxer but he's still a "name". It's a low risk high reward fight.

    Joshua wins by highlight reel KO and everybody goes back to pretending Joshua is a generational talent.

    I think that Fury finished off what was left of Whyte. AJ by KO within 5 rounds.

    The AJ that Usyk just fought is the best version I've ever seen of him, Whyte stands next to zero chance barring AJ walking in with his hands down and chin out, he sends Dumpy Fraggle's head sailing into the rafters, with yes... yet another brutal uppercut. This is almost as pointless as Fury-Chisora III.

    It won't be particularly close, AJ knocks out Whyte again and easily, barring a very slight puncher's chance.

    AJ was badly overhyped at one point, but now he's getting a bit underrated. The rematch with Usyk was pretty close, he shouldn't be written off because of that. He has skills, power and athleticism, he's not an easy fight for anyone (including Fury).

    Bring back Arreola into the conversation. At least Joshua hasn't beaten him yet smh

    Yeah, it's getting ridiculous now. This was bound to happen once these stupid rematch clauses starting being added.

    Hearn and Matchroom are being sneaky. On the surface Whyte isn't an easy fight, in reality he's lost 2 of his last 3 by KO and AJ has already fought and KO'ed him years earlier. It's an ok fight at this point, but stop lying about the nature of the match.

    At the stage, Whyte is a tune up, 'soft touch' type fight.

    That being said, AJ is coming off back to back losses, so a recovery fight is pretty standard, even if I dont agree with it.

    The undercard looks good:
    Helenius-Knownacki III
    Haney-Kambosos III
    Mayweather-Pazienza II
    Mayweather was going to sign up Gatti, but found out he was dead.

    Pointless fight, even as confidence building. Whyte brings nothing to AJ resume, and this is what a boxer should looks for. Names to add to your resume.
    Not happy with that fight at all. I still hope for Wallin fight, as it's a lot better.
