Dilian Whyte: cuckold, entitled and cowardly

It actually doesn't, it's simply a placeholding title. They also created it for the Oscar Rivas fight simply because Hearn begged for an interim title to legitimise what would've been only an average fight for a PPV main event. He then actually had a final eliminator with Povetkin and got promptly sparked, which totally reset the process for him getting a mandatory spot.

 

Sulaiman is the slimiest scumbag in boxing...the guy acts like he has moral intentions which makes it all worse

Fat toad lmao... Accurate description

 

so woudnt beating Povetkin in rematch give him the spot back by that logic. Or did they bouth lose the place cause Povetkin beat him?

 

I see the anti-Whyte fan club are out in force rewriting history and spinning the same half-truths yet again.

Do you lot never get bored of it? Saying something repeatedly proven false, and regurgitating the same nonsense month after month, doesn't make it any more true.

smh, this forum is a waste of time

 

Whats the truth then?

 

So, Whyte didn't want to risk a possible WBC title fight by taking a fight for the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles?

Is that the story now? (LOL)

Whyte was making too much money in 2019 fighting Oscar Rivas and Mariusz Wach and he didn't want to risk ALL that money by taking A FIGHT FOR THREE OF THE TITLES AGAINST JOSHUA? LOL.

Dillian Whyte is a good fighter. But he could've fought for ALL the belts by now. He was offered final WBC eliminators with Ortiz in 2018, Breazeale in 2019 and Povetkin in 2020. He was offered a chance to win three belts against Joshua in 2019.

Out of those four fights, he only chose to fight Povetkin, and he got iced for his troubles.

The "Dillian Whyte got cheated" TITLE seems to be the only title he really wants.

He's made it his "Brand."

If Whyte never fights again, no one will miss him. Nobody ever thought he was the best heavyweight in the world anyway.

 

For someone with limited skills, I must say Whyte is showing massive balls. He deserves nothing for free. He needs to work for it.

 

Lol, nice try.
The truth (with a small t) is a matter of historical record. It's not to be found arguing ad-infinitum with certain fans who seemingly have an unwavering commitment to muddy the water.
That's as much as I'm willing to bite.

Here is just the most recent taste of what is an ongoing farce:
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman quizzed by Simon Jordan about Dillian Whyte's mandatory situation and Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder (talksport.com)

 

It was a genuine question tbh

And no way am i clicking on to talksport lol

 

Then the only thing I have to ask is why is Whyte the interim champion?
Under the WBC´s own rules, that belt is meaningless and WBC have no obligations to the belt holder. But I wonder if a court would agree?
Whyte has been the interim champ for a while now. He has also been the top ranked contender and at one point was the mandatory according to the WBC.
Then, quite randomly, the WBC came out and said that WHyte was not the mandatory. And to my knowledge, they did not say it was because Whyte turned down any fights.

 

The WBC names "interim" champs when they believe the champ in a division may vacate. And they want a champ already designated who they can announce as the new champ should a belt get dropped. (Because they want those sanctioning fees flowing.)

So, for example, if Tyson Fury vacated the WBC belt tomorrow, Dillian Whyte would be announced as the new WBC Heavyweight Champion. He wouldn't have to fight anyone for it. He would just become the champ.

Apparently, after the first Wilder-Fury fight in 2018, the WBC got the impression there was a real possibility Wilder was going to vacate. That was around the same time in the spring of 2019 when Wilder was being offered money to go to DAZN and fight Joshua for three belts. Orgs get jumpy when one of their champs starts talking about fighting for other belts.

Also, Whyte hasn't been the "interim" champ for a "while now." Whyte has been the WBC "Interim" Champ for four months, when he defeated Povetkin.

His first fight with Povetkin was a final eliminator for the WBC title. If Whyte won, he became the mandatory. Whyte lost.

My question to the WBC is why does Dillian Whyte get to choose when his WBC "Interim" belt is on the line and when it isn't?

He picked up a vacant WBC "Interim" belt when he got off the floor to decision Oscar Rivas in their 12-rounder. Then, in his next fight, Whyte fought the unrated Mariusz Wach in a 10-rounder and the "interim" belt wasn't on the line. Then he fought Povetkin with the "interim" belt on the line in their 12-rounder and got knocked cold. Then he regained the "interim" belt against Povetkin in their scheduled 12-round rematch.

Now he's rumored to be facing Jermaine Franklin, who isn't ranked in the top 15 by the WBC (or in the top 15 by any org at all for that matter). So, will that be a non-title 10-round fight like the Wach fight was?

Historically, heavyweight belts were always on the line when the belt holder fought a sanctioned fight, because heavyweights can't fight over-the-weight bouts. A welterweight champ can fight a non-title junior middleweight bout, but a heavyweight can't fight over-the-weight non-title fights.

So what makes Whyte so special? Why does he get to have 'non-title' interim bouts? Why isn't Whyte fighting a top 15 WBC contender? And why the hell didn't he when he faced Wach?

I'd also ask the WBC how long do you let a guy hold an "interim" belt before you clean up this mess? Because Fury is goofy enough to dump the WBC belt. And if Franklin pulls an upset or beats Whyte on cuts or something, are they honestly just going to announce Jermaine Franklin as the NEW WBC champ?

This "interim" belt crap and allowing Whyte to fight unrated guys needs to stop. Hell, Wach came close to beating Whyte.

 

I don't like Whyte but he was definitely more deserving of a title shot than Pulev and Takam

 

Agreed Whyte could've had a shot by now but he has backed out of fights and always plays the victim he is deluded and thinks he is better than what he is he will likely be knocked out again within his next couple fights.

 

I don’t see why Whyte is upset.

No British boxer has ever made as much as he has through numerous PPV fights as headline act and throughout all of that never been a champion.

He has done amazingly well from the sport given his level.

At this point with his punch resistance in tatters he had better hope that a Wilder fight or AJ rematch doesn’t come off. As he is getting seriously outclassed.

Why did he turn down the AJ fight when Ruiz Jr took it? He certainly isn’t the ‘can man’ as he would like you to believe that’s for sure.


Also, at this point he has enough money. So it’s not like he needs to sell his chin for the future of his family.
