Comments Thread For: Hearn Believes Joshua vs. Whyte Rematch is Gone Forever

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Whyte should never be allowed to earn another penny from boxing.

Still waiting for details on this "cleared by UKAD" about Benn. Very strange, after so long a process, that very little has been released.

I don't think it was a match people were really looking out for. Joshua has decisively beaten Whyte before and since then the gap has increased. Whyte has fallen short in many fights or shown mediocre skills. I think this fight was not about who is better as a fighter but rather a test of where Joshua stood mentally after his somewhat lackluster performance against Franklin.

It won't be missed and Whyte is unlikely to bounce back unless he can miraculously prove he didn't take PEDs and something wrong happened during the test.

Because nothing has been "cleared". They are fighting for jurisdiction/lawsuits/process/etc to make the party agree to withdraw/drop the case. It is not a case of someone saying we think the amount is so small or there are such and such circumstances to cause contamination that we believe Connor did not take the drugs.

It was not a rematch anyone really wanted to see anyway.

From what I gather from Eddie; Whyte got caught with a really damning substance, not something that is a trace amount in a supplement.

Yes, I think this is exactly what's happening and probably the route Whyte is going to try to take.

It's good to see that Hearn has been forced into realising the majority aren't as warped as him and will not accept drug cheats in this already dangerous sport..

After seeing the fat clumsy Whyte look like he started boxing yesterday vs. Fury, I'm happier to see Helenius. Whyte clearly doesn't dedicate himself to the sport and it's a shame b/c he has guts and power, but he's just a lazy dosser.

Cue Whyte's "Woe is me, really I'm the victim here" rant in 3, 2, 1...

That is the one area where Eddie Hearn would not forgive and that is when someone tries to cheat in order to harm Anthony Joshua. He hasn't forgiven Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller and I don't expect him to ever forgive Dillian Whyte because AJ is Matchroom's cash cow.
