Dillian Whyte vs Oscar Rivas July 20th - Confirmed

whats the fight date ?

 

It’s not going to be Dave Allen if he wins is it? I know it’s an easy PPV for Sky to do, but I’d have thought they’d want Allen v Price first before he main events a PPV against Whyte at the end of the year.

The absolute state of it.

 

If they announce Charr, I am going to lose my mind. That's what I'm guessing it'll be.

The hope though is that it is Ortiz, Povetkin, Pulev or maybe a Parker rematch if absolutely necessary.

 

I expected and hoped for Povetkin for the "battle of the left hooks". However I saw one guy report that Rivas is agreed.

 

i think povetkin is wrong for whyte
rivas is right and a good fight

i would definatly watch either povetkin or rivas though

dont understand at all why whyte did not take the joshua fight for the 6 million ? that was offered
as a boxer your self employed
i have been self employed for 37 years

i dont give a monkeys what my rivals earn only care about what i earn
and getting huge huge money and fighting to be the man at heavy should have been motivation enough

but i understand top sportsmen have huge egos and that has got in whytes way here.

 

I am inclined to agree with you regarding not caring what other people earn but if you knew you would helping someone earn more (unfairly in your eyes) compared to you, it would bother you.

If Whyte think's his value in the fight bring X and he's being offered 70-80% of X then I could see why you wouldn't want to take it.....on the flip side £6m is a hell of a lot of money!

 

you want to put 1 million away for your kids
you want 2 million to buy your dream house

and you have to fight this opponent to do it

i would not give a monkeys that my opponent could put away 2 million for his kids and 4 million for his dream house

but i work in a trade where we are all self employed /all do the same thing /and all earn totally different wages from a pittance to big money / and no one is jealous of the other man.

 

It will be one of these 3

Povetkin
Kabayal
Rivas

Kabayal is defending against Joyce next in theory
Povetkin too dangerous for whyte imo
Rivas beat Jennings who whyte wanted to fight at one point so that seems most likely
