    Whyte again cashing himself out just like last time when Miller was done for doping. Whyte was offered over £5 million which is around what he made to fight Fury, lets be honest what options does Whyte have to make that kind of money? Fury's already fought him, Usyk has mandatories and Fury to deal with so unless Whyte becomes mandatory he isn't fighting Whyte, Wilder is never fighting Whyte, Wilder will likely fight Joshua then retire. Joshua is the only guy interested in facing him that brings him a big payday.

    How exactly does not paying Whyte an exorbitant amount of money mean Joshua is ducking?

    Exactly. Whyte is a high priced punching bag and he knows it.
    The Gypsy Douche Bag has him thinking he is worth it.

    Whyte is the Rolly Romero of the HW division. Big talking idiot whose only redeeming qualities as a fighter are his power and courage. He somehow manages to talk his way into big fights and then starts making demands as if he is in a position to do so. Pure delusion and a WWE circus act.

    Good that it's off. **** fight to be honest, it'd be the new cautious/confused/hesitant AJ vs low stamina sloppy near washed up Whyte.

    Been there done that, now fight some other good fights people actually want to see.

    I suppose if AJ was more like Fury we'd have AJ v Whyte 4 soon.

    Whyte maybe decided to price himself out of this, knowing that a 3rd KO loss in 5 fights would end his career at the top level.

    I am surprised Hearn has not made this happen. Given that its the perfect fight for AJ now...a taylor made opponent who leaves his chin in the air and would be there to hit...

    But it looks like Hearn himself is also far more cautious with AJ now.

    As his confidence has been shattered and no one knows how he would react. If lets say Whyte lands something big early and wobbles AJ, it could result in a shock loss. So perhaps Hearn is going for an easier fight next for AJ, most likely an opponent who doesnt have much pop and wont put up much of a fight.

    Whyte is finished, he waited a long time for his chance and Fury knocked him out cold, he looked pretty bad against Franklin so this fight doesn't make any sense and it's good that it won't happen...

    Typical Fury fanboy rattling.
    When AJ comes on Twitter and said he won't fight till December, people on here start crying, that he is so inactive, that he just fought again before December.
    Then when they announce they will try to fight Whyte, people again slated him for trying to fight a guy he was the first to destroy and take his virginity.

    Now Fury fanboys are crying that AJ somehow is ducking a guy he beats, when Whyte was undefeated and still has his durability and chin.

    Typical hypocrites, twisting reality and constantly change their opinion, just to fit their narratives.

    AJ august fight is just a stay busy fight, for what is coming in December, which is going to be Wilder, or if Wilder decide to duck a good opponent like Zhang/Hrgovic or so on.

    I don't like the Whyte fight, as even as stay busy fight, it brings nothing for AJ.

    And AJ ain't a Champ any longer, and it's coming after 2 loses, and it's lining huge fights in December. That's why he get a pass for the tune-up/stay busy fight.

    BTW, and Whyte absolutely lost to Franklin, so AJ already face the better opponent, and beats him like 12-0, 11-1.

    P.P. And the fight is not OFF. This is a negotiation tactic. When one guy wanting too much money, you just say you have 2-3 replacement for it, and will look for other options. Simple as that.
    The fight could very well happen, which for my liking is terrible fight, as AJ gains nothing from that fight at all.

    Clueless. Joshua already made a meme out of him. Whyte would want millions for this fight. Bur he can't accept that he's been laid out too many times now and doesn't hold a belt. So his value is really low.
