Fun fact the same ppl defending Whyte right now are the same exact ones who crucified Fury for Covid & who have called other fighters cowards for countless moves that don't compare to pulling out 2 weeks before a fight many expected them to lose.
He’s fought before with an injured shoulder apparently. He has said a few times he would fight through injury. I expect it is a mix of not being 100% and being pulled as it’s a high risk low reward fight. He might be on the brink of a title shot and Wallin could ruin that
I agree with you. What I don't understand is why Whyte agreed to the fight in the first place. If he wanted a fight while he waited for the Fury/Wilder situation to unfold, he could have taken an easier fight than Wallin.

I was pondering this earlier today. I looked it up and Whyte-Wallin was announced Sept. 15, 10 days before Joshua-Usyk fought. My guess? They were so sure like the rest of us that Joshua was gonna beat Usyk's ass and they figured Joshua vs. the Fury-Wilder III winner was inevitably next. Usyk surprised and Whyte pulled the plug on the Wallin fight. Fury-Whyte in the UK, I guess.

This is a pretty solid assumption. I would have to agree… There were some here that called for the Usyk upset but most did think Joshua would win. I think those who picked Joshua had no idea he would try to outbox him.
