    Eddie has done a great job promoting him. The darts and football fans have really bought into this "Whyte will fight anyone" narrative despite evidence to the contrary, and that Wilder is ducking him lol.

    Whyte won't leave. He's getting the AJ fight.

    WBC are a disgrace. Whyte has been number 1 for 18 months but no mandatory? Breazeale got made mandatory in the most bizarre decision ever and he hasn’t even got a sniff of a title fight. Whyte is still probably 18 months at least away from a mandatory shot at the WBC.

    They need to say Wilder can have an exemption for Joshua or Fury but by “x” date and the next fight for no matter who wins is the mandatory which must be done by “y” date

    He should try sticking to the WBC route. All roads end with Joshua anyway. I don't think he wants that rematch with the bodybuilder. He could probably prolong his career if he goes down that path. He's improved, but not enough to beat Joshua. Maybe he should sign with Haymon like Joyce did. He pays his fighters handsomely for fighting bums. Lol.

    Who else will get away with putting him on box office, he'd be insane to leave matchroom.

    Dillian Whyte is Eddie Hearn's best piece of work. A limited, game heavyweight who will never be a world champion, making millions off PPV as a headliner. Truly incredible stuff. He's basically another Dereck Chisora, comparing level and ability. Now check their bank accounts. Whyte would be mad to leave matchroom.

    Trevor Bryan is a world champ technically, Stiverne was a champion.
    This version of Whyte mops the floors off with Arreola and Stiverne when they fought for vacant WBC. He also gives Wilder hell.

    If Whyte was a US based heavy he would already have some sort of belt. The issue is he's from UK, where the division is deeper and more diverse.

    They shouldn’t. Makes a mockery of the rankings and mandatories. How can you be number one for 18months or whatever and still well over a year away from a title shot?!

    He needs to stay with Hearn throughout 2019, and wait to see if he gets that AJ fight he has been promised this year. Hearn was very clear that he would get his shot either in the April date or Oct date.

    If it doesnt come off and he really wants a title shot, then that is when he should leave.

    However, Hearn has made him a millionaire. Name me another fighter who has become a millionaire and not even fought for a world title before in British boxing.
