    Im very interested in this fight. The whole back story is quite intruiging. Whyte came up scraping, having a few problems, but has found himself in position through pluck, balls and a few skills (more on that). Joshua is the establishment favorite, while Dylan has a lemon head and a squeaky voice, Joshua is a handsome winsome guy, with a deep voice and George Foreman type stare.

    Dylan actually speaks very well when he is not trying to threaten Joshua... Joshua seems to have mastered the icy stare that says "yeah you got one over on me, enjoy it while you can..."

    Skill wise Dyln has really good fluid punching. He works his combos very well. To be effective he would have to improve defensively. He is just too squared up and does not move enough in the ring. Joshua will be able to overpower him unless he has improved. Joshua should have an easy time of it.

    This fight reminds me a bit of the Mike Tyson Tyrell Briggs fight. Dylan was about the level of Briggs and Briggs thought he could parlay an ammy win against Tyson...Didn't work out to well for Briggs. I wish Whyte well though, he is an intriguing character and has some skills. I don't know why Banks, who has Vlad being defensive, has not worked more on D for this kid. he will need it against Joshua.

      I am almost sure Joshua will win, but I'm rooting for the underdog here

        Joshua by KO round 4.

        Whyte will test the hype jobs chin first though.

        AJ back on the roids in time for Christmas.

          I got Dillian simply because there's another person with almost same name that I greatly prefer.

          High five to anyone who gets the reference.

            I think it will be a very entertaining heavyweight fight. I think people are really underestimating Whyte.

                    I reckon this will be the fight of the night in terms of entertainment. Though CEJr should win

                      Banks has only been training him for a short time. A few weeks before his last fight or something. Any improvements banks makes will take longer than that
