    Just seen on sky sports that H Fury vs Whyte has been ordered for the vacant British title. Good fight IMO but for some reason I can't see it happening.

    Peter Fury has already said they will withdraw from the fight because

    A. They like Dillian
    B. Hughie Fury has a long standing health problem that they are now going to address before he fights again

    I rate whyte but fury would have him on the end of the jab for 12 rounds. No need to rush into fights he's 22, 20-0 and got a top 10 ranking.

    I wonder if Whyte is the type of fighter whereby Furys skills would be over powered. Fury has good skill but for a heavy doesn't have much on the end of his punches in his last fight he tired badley

    But on the other hand they say with notice he will fight wilder and no top 15 world ranked fighter will take the fight. So why dodge whyte

    Agree that Hughie would comfortably outpoint Whyte, don't see anything special in him at all. Friendship or not I feel they should take this fight if Hughie sorts out his health problems.

    great interesting fight for me

    I dunno, something about Hughie just makes me think hes still ill or unwell

    The Villian takes it for me

    If Hughie has pulled out then Price is next in line. Doubt that happens so it would be Whyte/***ton which is a reasonable fight and could be easily made.

    I wudnt say price is next in line. Board have sent Allen v ***ton and Lewison v cornish out to purse bids for eliminators

    I'm not saying he will dodge whyte. I think he would comftably out point him I'm just saying he doesn't need rushing he is very young and has time on his side.

    Whyte would KO Hughie and that's the reason they pulled out of the fight

    The winner of ***ton/Allen should fight Whyte then. It would be nice for the belt to be defended by the champion as opposed to dropped immediately after its won.
