    Could be a brilliant move by Whyte's team to get him on Masterchef Celebs which is already filmed. He could do well given his background, but key thing is that no one outside of "us" knows him. Should he win tomorrow and do well on Celeb Masterchef (already in the can) he could soar in popular opinion over here and that boosts his big payday against ironfist.

    I tried to explain to my lady earlier this eve about the heavyweight division and the problems therein. It fell on deaf ears. But put Dillian on the telly talking about his Mum's cooking and being all soft and an 18 stone hulk and the women will be tuning into Wilder / Whyte.

    Off thread, but it seems Tibbs didn't offer any good reasons why Riakporhe beats Smith? "His boxing IQ is up to date?" Damned with faint praise there.

    I think it'll be a stinker. Rivas will run and run.

    Have you seen Rivas? He’s like a commercial jet plane, he doesn’t have a reverse gear.

    **** me. Hearn says if Allen wins tonight then Povetkin fight is on. Absolutely brutal.

    If chisora wins the Parker fight is agreed.

    I think Whyte will look to our box him tonight. We’ve seen him do it before but he’ll need to make Rivas respect his power so he doesn’t get swarmed. Whyte is a warrior though and may get drawn in to a war. I’m Looking forward to it.

    Oscar Rivas actually looks a much better boxer than Dillian Whyte technically.
    Whyte has a great powerful left hook though and has a bit more experienced at the higher level in the pros. Rivas hasn't faced anyone of note apart from Jennings, whereas Whyte has faced Joshua, Parker and Joshua twice.
    It is a good fight.
    I really can't pick a winner.

    Whyte going to have to box sharp tonight. Got to set hid work up and pick his shots and be accurate..
    Rivas has been around for ages but hasnt had many big fight. Wonder if theres a reason for that.
    Picking whyte in a close one

    Absolutely terrible. I get that boxing has made Allen some decent money (multiple property owner now) but at what cost?

    Think he’s had a similar problem to the likes of Ortiz where he’s a dangerous fighter who doesn’t sell tickets.
