    Whyte has not said a single word about the fight. Why haven’t Whyte or his team acknowledged the fight yet? Something feels off.

    Heard he's trying to get a top of the range stretcher put into the contract, he's prone to a little nap or 2.

    He knows its finally happening

    Maybe he is just getting his head down and focusing while Fury just mouths off and sells the fight.

    Whyte is getting paid a lot of money for this fight.

    He's a ***** if he just sits in silence now and doesn't work for that cash. The bloke has the emotional maturity of a 10 year old.

    Warren said Whyte and his lawyers tried to get the step aside chats going again on Thursday at the 11th hour.

    Personally not convinced Whyte wants this fight.

    Just watched an interview featuring his brother Dean Povetkin. Gave off very obvious "the fight isn't happening unless they pay him more" vibes.

    It's a shame. I just hope the WBC remove him as mandatory for good and tell him to do one.

    Interview is here.

    If Whyte turns this down/ducks this fight now - it's absolutely pathetic.

    He is probably training hard for the fight of his life.

    The whole thing stinks! I’ll be amazed if this fight goes ahead.

    Thing is though, if whyte does duck then he will have to rebuild again. He’s not ranked in the top 15 of any of the other governing bodies right now. So it’s not as if he can try and face someone like charr or Trevor Bryan for those regular wba belts.

    he’ll probably pull out injured at the 11th hour and offer the fight to someone else while whyte still stays as number 1 in line for the wbc

    "Does Dillian knock him out?"
    "Ehhhhh, its possible"
    :facepalm:

    Whyte and Joshua's team are making it abundantly clear they don't think they're going to win. No wonder they were so desperate for free money.

    If Whyte ducks Fury it's embarrassing

    All bark no bite.
