Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Signs Contract; Tyson Fury Fight Set For April 23 At Wembley Stadium

The only fight I've watched Whyte in was Povetkin1. I watched it just because some people on this board are all over Whyte's nuts. Whyte was winning but didn't look good - he just looked better than an old, shot Povetkin. And then that old, shot Povetkin starched him, and I was LMAO.

Fury was in shape in the second fight but it was against an over confident Wilder . Fury didn’t train much for Wilder 3 against a better prepared Wilder and he didn’t look great when Wilder had his jab going .,looked sloppy and frustrated at times . So the question is will the Fury from the second Wilder fight show up and could he box to his leisure,show boat and feel no worry at all against Whyte who will be in best condition ? I really don’t see an easy fight at all and I think Wilder is making Fury look unbeatable against the very underrated Whyte so put these together it’s going to be an ugly fight fior me .

I get Fury is the favored but as a boxing historian you know what usually happens in title fights and when one guy is hungrier it’s usually not the easy fight everyone says it’s going to be .

For that third fight Fury stated he had problems in camp so he trained to KO Wilder. He also seems to think Wilder is a benchmark for the most dangerous fighter in the division. Of course the fcts could reveal two possible outcomes regarding Wilder as a benchmark for punching supremacy: Either its true and a hard puncher with decent boxing skills will look hard pressed (literally) and ineffective against Fury, or, Whyte will show us that Wilder is just not that good.

I have Fury by mid-rounds KaYo. Whyte always gets caught with something ******, lol. The fight should be fun because Whyte's going to come and try to win.

Still, I'd like to see Fury have a proper camp for this one, get in good shape and get a little bit of his boxing back to support the new style he used against Wilder. Should be useful for facing the Usyk/Joshua rematch winner down the line.

I want to say this is an easy fight for Fury. Whyte looked awful vs an old, but still in shape Povetkin in the first fight. For the rematch Povetkin was coming off of covid and you can tell how much it affected him. He lost a lot of muscle mass and looked completely different in the weighins for the rematch. I don’t think Whyte can handle Fury. Fury made Wilder look chinny and easy, but he isn’t. Whyte is actually prone to KO’s in a way.
