    Whyte certainly could take it

    Fury needs to go back to his old elusive style for this one

    I am rooting for Whyte I think he’s done well to get to this stage after the AJ defeat it was a big rebuilding job. This fight is much closer than the odds suggest. If Fury does win I really believe he will have to leave a part of himself in the ring to get the win

    100% supporting Whyte! - Will love for Fury to be knocked out.. He, his fan boys and the MTK gangland boss - need bringing down a peg or two. I love seeing ego's tammed

    Regardless of who's rooting for who, Tyson Fury eats Dillian Whyte's lunch.


    Oh, and, to every bitter, twisted fruit who spent the last thirteen years waiting for him to be 'taken down a peg or two';

    The world's heavyweight champeen could lose to Dave Allen by KO1 and none of you assholes could justifiably say a thing about it, given that not a one of you credited him with being capable of a fraction of what he's achieved to begin with. :lol: He left you clueless suckers in the dust a long, long time ago already.

    I voted for Whyte, but really I'm not concerned either way. However, I want a conclusive knockout win for either... reason being:

    This content is protected

    • So the Lions Den community delve deeper into their hole of depression post-Wilder losses. They are the most despicable 'fans' in boxing at the moment. They literally fabricated on behalf of a fighter - which in turn, warranted a rematch.
    • To bring the general UK fan base down a peg. It's crazy how much hype Fury is getting in the current climate of boxing. There was a poll on Facebook where people were asked to rank the best UK heavyweights in history - Fury got 72% of the votes, Lewis 10% and the rest to AJ and Whyte (Bruno didn't get a look in).
    • Fury is a PED cheat.
    • Whyte was conned out of a title shot for too long. Love him or hate him (I'm not a fan at all...) he was deserving of a shot against Wilder for a long time.
    • So the mental gymnastics of the Wilder cucks stay at bay. If Fury wins, in their minds Wilder won too.
    • Fury looked crap against Wilder in their last fight. I genuinely think Whyte has a shot.
    • I think Fury will duck Usyk if he is to win against Whyte.
    • Whyte will fight any of the top 5 fighters - Usyk included.

    • Fury is great for the sport. Let's be honest, he's a diamond in the rough when it comes to the current HW scene.
    • Assuming Usyk dismantles Joshua again, we get to see Fury/Usyk (if Fury doesn't avoid him - he's already got the wheels in motion for retirement).
    • Whyte didn't deserve the win against Parker. The headbutt knockdown was ridiculous. Hoping he loses, rematches Parker and gets stopped.
    • Whyte's not the most likable human being - let's be honest.
    • I wrote Fury off a long time ago (prior to talks of him against Ustinov). I never really saw the talent and it irked me that he got the win over McDermott all those years ago. However, he's made me a fan through adversity and the willingness to throw caution to the wind.
    • Fury is talented enough to do a Chisora 2 type of job on Whyte.
    • Whyte is a PED cheat.

    I think we should have a fun affair, at least the optimist in me says so. A packed stadium will at least provide an electric environment, and perhaps the fighters will feed off of that.

    Fury looks aged after Wilder III, Whyte instead looks resurrected. He did the right with Wallin imo. Now he has more energies to put in the fight of next week.

    Whyte KO Fury within 7 rounds.

    If you really believe that will happen then you should throw some money at it. The return on an early Whyte KO is monsterous.

    Fury.

    I give Whyte more slack than most but Fury is a great fighter when he wants to be.

    The Better Fighter, Tyson Fury!!

    Whyte is a good tough challenge for anybody due to gameness and power but he ain't elite!!

    If that makes them actually fight each other, I'd be fine with it... It probably wouldn't, though.

    Academic really as Fury should win this, as long as it's a good fight though I couldn't honestly care less who wins.

    I like both guys but Fury winning would open the door more for a undisputed fight.

    Oh and Whyte aint got a snowball’s chance in hell.None.

    Neither. I'm not really a fan of either. I just hope it's a good fight. Whyte's earned his shot and hopefully he raises his game and tests Fury. Also I hope we see a better version of Fury this time around, he was woeful in the 3rd Wilder fight. Hopefully now he's had elbow surgery we'll see a return to something like the Fury we saw who dominated Wilder in their 2nd fight.

    I guess if I had to root for one of them it would be Fury, he's a bit more personable to me and Fury/Usyk is a more intriguing match up for me than Usyk/Whyte.

    I believe both guys going to come in best form mentally and physically.

    Whyte is in his prime and ready to go, has all the experience he needs to prep him for this fight. Couldnt have come at a better time.

    Its all on Dillian now to make it happen.

    Both guys been in wars and same age.
