    of course they respect the rules that's why they will vacate. Anyway it's at the WBC's discretion what the split is.

    Getting flattened by Povetkin, then the early rematch against the barely recovered covid victim, completely removed Whyte’s credibility.

    There's absolutely no point. It adds virtually nothing to Fury's achievements.
    It would just be a tune up, a payday. But since Whyte apparently demands more than he's worth, it's not even much of that.

    I'd much rather see Whyte against Parker.
    That's the fight people should be calling for, if they care about seeing Dillian Whyte.

    It's quite a feat though, if Fury manages to have dropped or been stripped of every major and the biggest minor belt in the sport, at least once before retiring.
    IBF, IBO, Ring, WBA, WBC and WBO.
    How many in history have done that?!

    People should calm down about this. Anything said to the press during negotiations is going to represent starting positions in order to reinforce them. See also Hearn (of all people) claiming that Whyte won't entertain a rematch clause.

    I think Fury will fight one of the following:

    Helenius
    Kabayel
    Wallin
    Hunter

    It wouldn't surprise me if he fights a complete bum.
    Fury has a lot of shite names on his resume

    Looking at potential opponents that fit Fury's MO:

    - Kabayel
    - Zakhozhyi
    - Mckean
    - George Arias
    - Hemi Ahio

    Maybe he fights Logan Paul lol I wouldn’t be surprised but I’d certainly pay to see it!!!

    He has to fight a top guy, none of these Schwartz type guys that make Brooks mandatories look half decent!!

    Joyce is out, Parker fight not going to happen, no Usyk or AJ.

    It will be a Ruiz or Helenius type guy.

    Simon Kean maybe? Fury was linked with him before.

    This is a joke. Whyte doesnt deserve 45%. He also deserves more than 20%. Meet in the middle and get the fight made. It will be a cracking build up and fight.

    Given the activity levels of Fury there is no defending him if he goes for yet another soft touch. The division is hardly stacked. Whyte was the ideal opponent.
