All this will translate into Fury not fighting again for another year and a half. But at least we get to see another classic Fury arbitration.
Shyte knows he's gonna get sparked out by the Gypsy king and there's nothing he can do about it. He's accepted his fate and clearly wants to milk the fight for it's last cent so he can retire after getting humiliated in front of millions
Interesting that Arum was bemoaning the fact that the WBC guidelines are ambiguous when it comes to a fighter's duty to promote. Of course Arum failed to mention it was ambiguity of WBC guidelines he used to his own advantage when he petitioned them to make it an 80-20 split. And like clock work here are the apologists, because of course, the WBC and Arum are whiter than Whyte.
If Whyte bottles this(which I remain hopeful that he won’t and the fight will happen), he might as well officially change his name to Dillian Shyte.
If he doesn't take the fight he might as well just retire. Even the most ardent mug isn't going to be conned into buying a Whyte V Helenius 2 PPV knowing he's turned down the chance to fight for the title twice. Whytes appeal has always been as the scrappy underdog who's been shafted by the boxing establishment despite fighting anyone*, anytime**, anywhere***. *apart from Pulev, Fury, Joshua, Parker 2, Wallin **unless he's not "ready" ***in London
For someone who’s been desperate to get a shot at the wbc title for some years now to finally get it and act like this is embarrassing
