Povetkin has Covid, rematch POSTPONED

I think Hearns "plan" was to force Fury in to a Whyte mandatory defence.

It's like this, it could cause Fury huge problems, Hearn has backing, Sky Sports, DAZN, now if Whyte is mandatory and Hearn forces it to purse bids then he could easily win it and then Fury is on Matchroom/DAZN/Sky platforms?

Nope, can't be done, Fury has an exclusive deal so Fury would essentially have to drop the WBC title.


But then Hearn would have a stronger hand in Fury Vs AJ negotiations, he can sit there and say it's either AJ on a huge mega fight for this deal or ill force the mandatory and win the purse bid.


Can you see the problems Hearn and Whyte could cause Fury, in terms of the WBC title, that's why I was convinced Fury would be made Franchise Champion to avoid this mess.

 

This makes things even more tricky for Aydamn - any potential return plans up in the air now.

I was really looking forward to the rematch.

 

Fury vs Whyte, why not? If both men are ready in December it’s surely better than Whyte in a tickover and Fury v Kabayel.

 

Whyte vs Fury would be genuinely salty too, because Whyte dropped Fury like a bag of cement a couple of times in sparring.

 

My first thought was that he’d tested positive for PEDs again. Hope he recovers quickly. It’s killed 2 people I know in the past week.

 

So Whyte says.. but it’s hardly a good source.

 

Charles Martin
Michael Hunter
Martin Bakole


My pick would be Bakole, he is here in the U.K. So no need to fly him over, wants an opportunity and would be easy to make and I think he'd take it like a shot.

Hunter, too dangerous for Whyte and Hearn has already cut him loose so I'm not sure either would be willing to do it, especially Hearn.

Charles Martin, interesting choice, coming off the back of 3 wins, ranked highly with the IBF and is willing to sell himself, he sold his IBF title, not sure if the money is there for him but it's worth looking at.

I like Bakole for this, he would take it in a heartbeat, so would Nelson.


Let's give Bakole another chance at really throwing himself in to the mix and that Hunter defeat doesn't look as bad now.

I don't think Bakole would be that expensive either.

 

Kabayel is probably better than Whyte tbf

 

Ok had a look on Twitter, Bakole is training, been sparring with Joe Joyce for his fight with Dubois.


This must be made, there really are no excuses to overlook Bakole for this.
