The problem for you is Hearn was just lying. He can say publicly they accept the fight, but if privately they turn it down and file a petition, it doesn't matter what they say publicly.Comment

he turned down joshua for whatever reason(he already fought him once lets remember) but he offered to fight ortiz and ortiz said he wasnt ready for that date, then he fought on the same date. it was obvious ortiz was bluffing and pbc was saving him for wilder. thats why he got 2 shots at wilder and whyte zero even though wilder was offered way more money for a whyte fight. also if you look at the breazele situation...that was a farce. whyte was the highest ranked fighter and said he would fight breazele for the next mandatory...instead they let breazele fight eric molina and the winner became mandatory...to who? wilder. its clear the wbc and pbc were steering their guys toward wilder while ignoring all others. also he made way more money to fight chisora than pulev and was already mandatory to another belt so not a surprise he chose that route especially since joshua had the belt and whyte didnt need to be mandatory to get that fight because of promotional ties.
I have been saying exactly this for years.
He turned down a unified title shot, which Ruiz took and won
He turned down an eliminator with Ortiz, who has since gotten 2 title shots
He turned down an eliminator with Pulev, who has since gotten a title shot
Breazeale offered to risk the title shot he already had in his back pocket, Whyte turned it down, Breazeale got his shot
The only eliminator Whyte actually took?
The one where an interim belt was on the line (and then Whyte cheated with PEDs in that fight).
He's been trying to politic his way to a title instead of fighting for it for years.
If Fury does drop the WBC belt, the WBC should order Whyte to fight Wilder for the vacant strap instead of upgrading his fake ass interim belt. It would serve him right, and Whyte would get mutilated in the first round of that fight like Breazeale did. No head movement is a bad way to try to fight Wilder.
yes wilder-whyte would be great but wilder and the pbc never wanted to fight whyte so not sure that would happenLast edited by daggum; 12-28-2021, 02:47 PM.Comment

Lol ... the problem for you is that after Eddie Hearn said that, Fury publicly turned down the fight, just like I said he did.Last edited by kafkod; 12-28-2021, 03:24 PM.Comment

But before any of that, Whyte officially turned down the fight and filed a petition to avoid the fight. So you can't blame Fury weeks later for saying he doesn't think the fight will happen.

- - Brits didn't care for Furry, the whole reason he came to America, and 'Muricans could care even less about him.
He's an arcane trivia question.Comment

I know you're a troll, but for new or naive fans who might be fooled by your propaganda, it's important to point out that Fury is a huge worldwide attraction. He makes tens of millions per fight. Americans love him and he's one of the most popular fighters here. It's hard for UK fanboys to understand, because they're so obsessed with UK fighters, but US boxing just isn't like that. America cares about stars, no matter where they're from.

Fury didn't say he thought the fight wouldn't happen. He stated, very definitely, that the fight wasn't going to happen because he didn't want it.
Your dishonest, twisted version of what happened before Whyte accepted the fight doesn't alter the fact that he did accept it and Fury then turned it down.Comment

Fighters take fights they don't want all the time. Usually because they don't want to lose their position. It was a mandatory fight. Whyte refused to participate. Fury didn't. Anything else is just posturing.Comment
