    Dillian can mess around all he wants but at the end of the day he’s probably getting stopped late after a sustained beating.

    Wembley 23rd of April apparently. Good news. It’s an interesting fight and about time we had a huge UK stadium fight.

    He’s got 8 weeks and was being asked to fly to the US detox to drive PPV sales that is of no benefit to him. Given his purse is fixed and if he wins he’s got the keys to undisputed. Not saying he will win but he’s got to focus on giving himself the best opportunity.

    this fight sells less than 75k PPV in the US. Going on a press tour there makes almost zero sense for him at this stage. Even more so given that if he wins his next fight will be Usyk or AJ and very unlikely to be in US.

    Glad he is signed, but not 100% sure Whyte actually fights Fury. Got a wee feeling him and Eddie have something lined up and they might be dragging it out to mess Fury around. Hope I'm wrong.

    The bit that appears to be the issue is Frank wants to keep hold of Dillians tax for him rather than let dillian sort his own tax out.

    AFAIK, Dillian has his own ltd company. He would be paid into the limited company bank account. Why would Frank need to hold Dillian's tax? He wouldn't even know what Dillian's tax bill is, as it needs to go through Dillian's own ltd company to work out the tax liability.

    He might of wanted more than 20% but from what I remember, the wbc was always that percentage and the rest of the governing body's were always in or around that no. The ibf used to be 75/25 but they changed that to 65/35. Warrington vs Kid was the first fight with that cut.
    He knew what the cut was when he pushed himself up the rankings. I smell a rat.

    Warren be the last person you'd want as a tax advisor. And i'm sure the HMRC would second that

    Constantly seeing Fury calling out Whyte still. Videos every day. Has Whyte played a blinder here? Distracted Fury from the fight and he’s more interested in what Whyte’s doing? Is he, isn’t he coming to press conferences etc whilst Whyte is working away quietly in the background.

    The loudest man in the room…

    Seems pretty standard Fury to me. Another way of reading into it is Fury hyping himself up for the fight which is good. Would be a shame if he was demotivated for this and didn’t show what he can do.

    Fury is also probably being advised to be active on social media to help build the fight seeing as Whyte hasn’t as of yet.
