    Long arms?

    Fury has a seven inch reach advantage.

    This will go to purse bids I think. The numbers team Fury were talking about that Whyte should get isnt gonna happen.

    Hearn and DAZN could offer to stage the fight but I don't think Arum would want that.

    Disagree. Fury no where near the level he was in the second Chisora fight and Whyte a is much more complete and well rounded fighter than Chisora.

    Well this was a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

    Though honestly after waiting for and talking about Whyte getting a WBC title shot since 2017. I'm not quite ready to believe something can't go wrong til they are actually in the ring together.

    Congratulations to Whyte:cheer:

    Excellent news. So glad the WBC grew a pair, They must have known the arbitration would not go in their favor. Either way, this puts Fury in a corner and he's going to have to fight his way out. I will be waiting for his excuse as to why he cannot fight Whyte.

    Pleased for whyte, he's deserved this

    And finally will get to see fury fight a top level fighter. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if this doesn't happen.

    Be interested to see if Hearn or Warren win the bid for this

    It doesn't matter. Fury won't be able to bully Whyte like he did to Wilder and Klitschko.

    I don't think Fury will fight Whyte. Probably he will vacate. He doesn't need to hold a belt to make big revenue fights. Fury will probably fight AJ in a non-title match, and Whyte will fight Usyk for the vacant WBC belt.

    Whilst Whyte v Usyk for undisputed would be hilarious.

    i really hope Fury is involved in that fight

    Whyte isn't more complete or well rounded fighter than Chisora (not in terms of speed, skills etc.) That's why their both fights were extremely close.

    Whyte has clearly better punching power than Chisora.

    But Whyte possesses glass chin (hope you won't deny this as Whyte was KO'd cold twice, and down few more times, including being hurt and dropped by the feather-fisted Parker).

    In this case Whyte will be KO'd by Usyk, he stands no chance against him at all (and Whyte has glass jaw, so Usyk definitely can stop him).

    This. I have no problem with this fight. If Fury wants to keep the title he needs to defend it.

    I don't know about that. Usyk had problems with Chisora. Whyte, who is a better version of Chisora, might cause bigger problems to Usyk.
