Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Dillian Whyte: WBC Orders Open Negotiating Period For Heavyweight Title Fight

[Szef]

Fury will ask the WBC to elevate him to franchise champion.

Domestic level? They were both top 10 rated. How many PPVS has Fury sold where he was the clear A-side? Fury isn't a draw, stop pretending he is. The fight will be in the UK, Whyte has shown he's a bigger draw. He's sold more tickets and PPV's than Fury has. Facts are facts,

Whyte is carrying the fight over in the U.K he sells over there ,Fury as far as we’ve seen never did . Fury demands of 80% is a duck if he still persues that stance . The promotion knows it needs Whyte badly to stage this fight if it doesn’t want to once again lose money on Fury

Get with it fellas, this is 2021, not 2018!

Fury's stock has risen enormously in the UK since his 2 spectacular KOs of Wilder. There are obviously no numbers to quote because he hasn't fought over here in 3 years, but the Gypsy King is probably the the biggest draw in UK boxing right now, bigger even than AJ, let alone Whyte.

Love it. Now the world will get to see how much of a chump Fury is when he pulls out with another lame excuse or a fake injury. He is cornered now though and Whyte is waiting hungrily for his shot. Fury wanted so badly to get cruiserweight Usyk in there to try and bully him. But the WBC finally grew a pair and ordered the fight. The next few months will be interesting indeed.

Funny how they never had that same enthusiasm with Wilder though eh!? 2 mandos in a 5 year reign and yet Whyte is 1 fight removed from a defeat and he's apparently getting a shot.

Fury vs Klitschko was far bigger then Whyte and he couldn’t generate interest . Maybe it was caused by one of the worst heavyweight matches ever seen against Klitschko ? There’s no evidence Furys a big draw there when he fights over here . They wouldn’t be looking to go to the U.K without a Whyte match up and risk losing money ,Fury selling the fight with no dance partner is not a risk they would take .

Good news, it's took long enough. I'm not a fan of Whyte but weather you love him, hate him or are indifferent the man has been placed in the position by the WBC to get his fight so its about time he was given it.

When has Wlad ever been a draw HBO got shot of him because him and his brother are abysmal draws and Fury has/had an equally boring style that fight was NEVER going to be good for a casual audience...

Whyte has never proven to be a draw over here either he's been in with guy who's had their name established by fighting AJ or Chisora who's always done relatively good numbers his one fight with a guy no one has heard of was Rivas and it was his 2nd worst performing fight in terms of #s.

This is something Whyte loves though. He loves feeling his head crash against the canvas. Dude is a ****ing bum and I cant believe he is ranked in the top 10. ****ing bum

Did whyte violate your mother or something?

[mromano]

Whyte wont see the championship rounds. Fury took Wilder's best shots and came back to dominate. Whyte took a shot from a 4000 year old Povetkin and I think he's still laying on the mat from it.

[bullydean]

Too many fanboys going at it.

Let's wait and see what happens.

"the Gypsy King is probably the the biggest draw in UK boxing right now, bigger even than AJ"

Seriously dude, tell your dealer he is giving you some bad stuff. Fury fought here in the US in a couple of fights that had more comped tickets than tickets sold. AJ is still selling out stadiums within hours. Also, Fury better train for Whyte because if he come in fleshy and fat, Whyte will KILL that body hahaha
