Comments Thread For: Whyte on Injury: I'm Devastated, I Was Looking Forward To Knocking Wallin Out

Common sense move to hurt your shoulder at the right time.

I’ll give Hearn this. Has the pay for play UK press wrapped around his Johnson. They hype this sub Bruce Seldon level punching bag like he’s anything but a stepping stone mediocrity. And a PED cheat mediocrity at that. He needs crooked judges to save him, and gets KTFO by senior citizens even when juiced to the gills. Shame British press aren’t journalists but fanboys

Dont blame Dillian, paid the price last time vs Povetkin, not worth another possible slip up when hes so close to a mega all British showdown. Second biggest fight to be made in the uk behind aj fury.

If the injury is genuine Hearn will shortly announce the rescheduled fight date.

Let's not hold our breath though . . . .

Yup, excellent point. That is a really easy and common sense test to figure out whether or not this injury is real.

I’m thinking what everyone else is thinking: after Fury’s win there was some preliminary negotiations confirming that Whyte would have that fight next, and this Wallin clash became a ****** risk.

Fight cancellations were always a point of frustration for boxing fans, but does anyone else feel like “injuries” and “positive covid tests” happen way way more often as live gates become more uncertain?

Eddy has Whyte on minimum wages. Whyte has been trucked so long, I want to see him get a payday.

Whyte holding out for the Tyson Fury fight lol

He chose Wallin, not like he was being forced to fight him.

He just chose not to fight him.

Serial ducker Whyte, ducks again.

Whyte didn't have the balls to fight AJ for 3 world titles, when contract arrived. I doubt he has balls to Fight Fury, who is a much better fighter.

But he'll string his fans along screaming about wanting that fight, just like he did with AJ.

It is BS but it is actually the right move. Wallin would've beaten Whyte with Schooled him for 12 OR stopped him late when Whyte starts to Fatigue and gets wild and start struggling just to stay on his feet

In a word, yes.
