    Which is very true but I don't understand how Whyte has an advantage against Fury because of his long arms when Fury has longer arms...

    Entertaining build-up certainly. And I think we will see Fury boxing more again, not going on the offensive as in his last two fights.

    They have 30 days from the time the WBC ordered the fight in which to reach an agreement. If they don't reach an agreement in that time, it then goes to purse bids.

    The only thing that makes the fight mildly interesting is that Fury might be past his best and back on the booze and coke, and is realistically a physically old fighter.

    But even that, with the fact that Whyte's no spring chicken and was already knocked out by an old man, is unlikely to even it up much at all.

    As I said previously economics dictate it won’t happen.

    If Fury drops the title he would not get a shot at Usyk/Joshua 2 winner as the WBC champ Whyte would be getting the fight for undisputed... Whyte will take the fight which will go to purse bid economics nothing Whyte has been waiting what 4 or 5 years for his shot he is not going to let it go.

    No reason for him not take the fight for WBC title now it’s been ordered.
