    Will Dillian Whyte actually fight Fury?

    Let’s say he somehow beats Wallin via a gift decision or something. Will he actually take the Fury fight on a mandatory lower end purse split?

    Let’s remember:

    - He rejected an IBF final eliminator.
    - He rejected a WBC final eliminator.
    - He rejected a direct title shot vs AJ for big money.

    My guess is if (and it’s a massive if) he gets past Wallin, Whyte will reject the Fury title shot. He’ll claim the money isn’t good enough and the WBC are shafting him.

      In addition to the turned down fights in your OP, Breazeale also offered to risk the mandatory shot he already had against Whyte and Whyte turned that down too.

      The only eliminator he ever took was the one that got him the interim title.

      Because his intentions have been transparent all along: he wants to be elevated to WBC champion via Fury (and, previously, Wilder) vacating or being stripped. He has never, at any point, had any intention of winning a belt in the ring against a reigning champion.

        Even worse, he was ordered to face Fury for the interim title, refused, and filed a petition to be named mandatory without ever fighting a final eliminator.

        He booked a fight against Rivas, who was rated #10, and then bullied the WBC via threats of lawsuits into retroactively making it a final eliminator, even though Whyte was refusing to fight anyone rated 2-9.

          Let's not forget he popped for PEDs, allegedly changed gloves after the glove selection meeting, and still got dropped by Rivas in that fight.

            And if the referee didn't rule a clear headbutt a knockdown, Whyte-Parker would have been a draw on the scorecards.

            Parker was very likely to get the result overturned, so Hearn paid him to drop his case.

              That whole Parker fight was a sham. After the headbutt Parker should've been given time to recover. He lost the immediate few rounds after the butt trying to recover from it, then surged at the end of the fight and had Whyte on dream street at the bell.

                Yes, had it been ruled a headbutt, Parker would have had time to recover and would have won the fight.

                But as is, it was going to get changed to a draw until Hearn paid Parker to drop his case and just let Whyte keep the win.

                  You also keep lying here . Fury declined that fight ,he said he was not interested. The WBC literally ordered it and they didn’t do anything when he declined for the Diamond belt championship he asked for ?

                    It’s hilarious how some people on here still defend Whyte. Whyte is the boxing equivalent of the boy who cried wolf.
