    I want the Whyte vs Fury fight and will be gutted if this doesn't happen.

    Mentioning Chisora as a potential opponent, why? Whyte's beaten him twice and that includes brutally KOing him in their last fight.

    Make Whyte vs Fury and put Chisora against Wilder or Ortiz (both winnable fights for Del).

    Be funny if Whyte ducked and Fury offered Chisora a fight.

    Can see why Whyte is a bit nervous about signing though, be the first time since the Joshua fight that he isn't having all the advantages in his favour and he's on the slide massively.

    He shouldn't be nervous about signing at all for those reasons

    He's banged on and on...............and on about not getting his shot. Now he has it and he's being paid a boat load of money so stop ****ing about and get on with it

    I agree, Just think that reality is hitting home and Whyte needed Eddie to win the purse bids for him to have any sort of a chance.

    But the thing is..... Hearn and co knew all along they were never going to win the purse bid.

    As Hearn said himself, Fury's side had the control to "manipulate" the bid and therefore win it so it was obvious from the start it wasn't going to be a Hearn show.

    After 3 years of being mandatory and not getting his shot, complaining non stop about it to anyone that would listen Dillian now has on a plate for him a huge PPV event, in the UK, for the WBC belt for more money than he has ever earned in his life, and the chance of a 10% winning bonus.

    From the start this has been a shambles but what it has always told me is that both Dillian Whyte and Eddie Hearn in equal measure simply don't believe in victory against Fury. At the foundation of all of this is the thinking that Dillian will lose. Matchroom only have 2 bonafied British PPV fighters and if one them were to get smashed to bits in April, with the other allegedly fighting in June in a match up he's expected to lose it obviously has a huge impact.

    I don't doubt that Eddie is doing his absolute best to convince Dillian not to take this despite what he has said public before. He knows he won't win, is out of the frame here in terms of the event, and this going ahead only causes him problems and gains him nothing.

    Either way if Dillian swerves this in favor of fighting Chisora, Wallin, or whoever else he is a joke and should be regarded as one. It would be one of the most ridiculous ducks in the past 10-15 years certainly domestically.

    If he doesn’t take the fight with Fury he’s an absolute bone head.

    TBH even if he takes the fight but does no media and no build up I think boxing fans should boycott his fights, he’s an absolute shill.

    In related news I WhatsApp’d Dillian last night regarding this and got two blue ticks but no response, I’ll update once and if he responds.

    Yes, in which he lost to a much better boxer than Wilder and Ortiz in Parker. Ortiz went life and death and was dropped twice by Charles Martin.

    Who’s to blame if the Whyte fight falls through?

    Worth pointing out:

    Dillian ducked Wallin, so he could fight Fury.

    Now it's time to sign, he wants to duck Fury, to fight who.....Chisora?

    I bet if he was offered a Povetkin trilogy he would sign on the spot, claiming the two of them had 'unfinished business'.

    If it does fall through, Would have to listen to both sides of story and the context and make a decision based on it.

    If Dillian doesn’t sign he is finished as anything other than a laughing stock.
