    Whyte pulls out and him and Hearn claim they took the moral high ground because they didn't want to face a drugs cheat. Tony Bellew does a brutally honest interview with Kugan saying that Whyte and Hearn are the saviours of boxing who just want to clean up the sport.

    They should have made the Wilder fight when they had the chance. I don't buy the "Wilder didn't want it" excuse either. My gut feeling is they just treated him like the B side and Wilder told them to **** off.

    Wilder V Joshua in 2018, in Las Vegas, on PPV. Easy fight to make.

    Eddie will never work with Dillian again…thats my prediction.

    He was forced into bidding for a fight, he had no chance of winning, because Dillian wouldn’t do a deal with Top Rank.

    Now it turns out, he had Ben Shalom ringing Frank at the last minute, saying he was working for Dillian.

    You honestly couldn’t make it up. Barry must be rampaging around Castle Hearn, in an absolute rage.

    He will be looking to put Edward over his knee and spank him, for dragging Matchroom into this mess.

    Wilder was the B side. He brought nothing to the table.

    Can't blame them. TF has tested positive before.

    I do not profess to understand the politics of boxing promotion but what’s the matter with Whyte ? Yes everyone wants as much dough as possible but he is fighting for the Heavyweight title and as a challenger he getting £5M + . He is not going to get that fighting anyone else plus whilst I think his chances of beating Fury are not great anything could happen and then he would be in the driving seat . If he ducks and then fights anyone else in the top 10 I can’t see how that’s a good option. He was extremely lucky to get a chance to reverse the Povetkin loss and in my opinion Fury aside there are at least 3 British heavyweights I would have as favourites to beat him .

    In a unification fight, the WBC title is hardly nothing

    They should have done everything they could to get Wilder in the ring.

    Joshua always says his end goal is to be undisputed and I believe him. But then he sat on 3 belts for 3 and a half years and never fought for the 4th. Hearn always seemed happy to just kick the can down the road and let the Wilder fight "marinate" because he wasn't a big name. Or whatever.

    Massive missed opportunity, and honestly the ship has now sailed for Joshua to become undisputed.

    Yup dead right. He went to America with a poor attitude, like an up himself teenager calling all the other promoters out and getting offside with them to the point where they've all turned against him and have worked together to freeze him out.

    Warren, for all his shortcomings, has shown his experience by working well with Finkel, Haymon, Arum etc. and getting Tyson Fury the Wilder fight when he was in no mans land in 2018 when AJ v Wilder should have been made and then striking a deal to co promote him with Arum instead of trying to be greedy and promote Fury on his own, and now look at the position Fury is in.

    Obviously people on here like to slag Frank Warren off and fair enough for some of the stuff he has done, but he's played a massive part in Fury's comeback and done a fantastic job with him.

    One belt compared to three is.

    I hope that I am wrong but something tells me that this fight is falling apart.

    Wilder had sold no PPVs.
