Wilder: I'd Beat Whyte With One Hand Tied Behind My Back!

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) believes a fight with British contender Dillian Whyte (22-1, 16 KOs) would be a complete mismatch if they ever stepped in the ring.

Last month in Cardiff, Whyte became the number one ranked contender under the WBC with a twelve round decision win over Robert Helenius.

Wilder just met his mandatory obligation, so he won't be ordered to face Whyte anytime soon. Earlier this month, Wilder demolished mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne in one round at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Wilder is pushing to fight IBF, IBO, WBA champion Anthony Joshua.

But Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, is also the promoter of Whyte.

Hearn would rather have Wilder face Whyte in February - and then if Wilder wins he would move forward to a Joshua fight in the summer.

Wilder has no interest in fighting Whyte - but he would be interested, as stated several times in recent weeks, if Hearn would agree to add a contract stipulation that guarantees a Joshua fight. Wilder does not believe Hearn is serious about making the Joshua unification and is using Whyte as a pawn.

"We have already spoken, I have already made my terms. If the UK fans and Eddie Hearn want to send their blockage to their cash cow, then add Joshua to the contract and I would love to whoop Dillian Whyte. That’s an easy fight, that’s a fight I win in my sleep, a fight I win with one hand tied behind my back," Wilder told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"Whyte is a one trick pony, he’s just a brawler, that’s it. Even Eddie Hearn doesn’t want to commit to Whyte, look how he’s got him hanging, he goes fight by fight with him. Dillian Whyte is just like a dirty rag that’s hanging out of Eddie Hearn’s pocket. I guarantee if they put Joshua through that contract with Whyte, you will see a fight, I will be there."
