Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Suffers Shoulder Injury, Withdraws From Otto Wallin Fight 10/30 In London

Whyte gets injured equals fake injury.
But Fury getting Covid and being seen out days later is completely legit haha. You guys crack me up some times. I am pretty sure Whyte is faking it here. He has tested the waters plenty of times while a championship fight is in the balance. The interesting thing is what will the WBC do? They have never been true to their words and they make the rules up as they go along. Fury and his team will try their best to get out of the mandatory and try to fight the Usyk AJ winner. And Fury fans, like usual, will support his cowardice and ducking

Whyte is a bum that got Koed by a 42 year old. Fury would murder him. But he wont get his title shot next anyway. Fury is out for bigger things. He will murk Usyk once Usyk retires the bodybuilder.

So you've admitted that it's a duck, well done.

The question is. Will you admit a duck when Fury tries to duck Whyte for the next couple of months? Or will you try to defend him like you did when he faked Covid?

[Mammoth]

He wants his mandatory. Wilder ran, will Fury do the same?

[PBR Streetgang]

I was really looking forward to this one. When Whyte signed on, I was surprised he was taking such a dangerous fight that could detail his title shot.

Have to admit that I'm a little su****ious of a shoulder injury this close to fight night. Hopefully they can get Wallin a different opponent. If Whyte's injury is bogus, that would mean both Ortiz and Whyte swerved from the Swede.

Poor ticket sales + a risky fight means a fake injury.

You can't blame Whyte though, I'd have done the same in his position.

Why lose to Wallin for no money when you can lose to Fury for a nice payday?

Boxing ticket sales over here have gone to sh** since Matchroom left sky save for the popular Anthony Joshua. There's hardly any exposure on the main satellite network for ANY boxing regardless of promoter and BT sport don't have a news channel to push their fighters. With the last sky card producing two 'stool quits' and a majority of their schedule being at 3:30am I doubt it will improve. A big part of the Matchroom success was their alliance with sky. They managed to snare all the general sports fans because sky sports news is a huge promotional platform. All the people that were on-board for the Whyte fights are still watching sky sports they're just not exposed to boxing any more. That makes less sense every time I read it back but yeah... ticket sales. Poor.

Can it be considered a duck if it's not real? Sure why not. Does it matter? Not really. As soon as the WBC announced the mandatory status, everyone was thinking of a way to make that fight happen and bypass an extra fight, it's never a good idea with his eyes focussed elsewhere.

Win or lose v Fury, he can fight Wallin. Not worth risking that title fight (if not legit).

Even if actually injured, probably works out well.

Lots of people expected this to fall through and whyte to move straight to fury

[Jack_sh*t]

On the one hand, it wouldn't be the first time Whyte has had shoulder issues, didn't he have an op on his shoulder after the AJ fight?
On the other hand, it'd be quite convenient if it meant he walked straight into a lucrative fight with Fury...
Haters will scream 'DUCK' but realistically, can you blame him given he's waited so long for a shot and taken two goes to get past Sasha?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Fury will beat Whyte so bad, that Whyte will be no draw anymore.

Wallin should go for Hrgovic IBF mandatory. Or for Parker -Chisora loser payday.
