Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte: Hearn Says Joseph Parker Could Be Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Dillian Whyte could well be in line for a world title shot later this year. The Brixton heavyweight, who is a former British champion and whose sole loss in the paid code came against fierce rival and now-IBF, WBA Super and IBO world champion Anthony Joshua back in December 2015, returns to the ring next month.

[NEETzsche]

Much better fight than Hughie vs Parker in terms of entertainment

[Butch.McRae]

Hearn is a slick basted lol but I knew he'd offer Parker a fight w/ Bellew, Whyte, or Haye.

Think about this...

Bellew v. Haye numbers:
Live gate - $3.5 million
PPV - $12 million
Fighters purse - $9 million
Haye's take - $5.4 million
Bellew's take - $3.6 million

With those numbers I'd be going to the UK too

Wilder should just go scalp hunting and clean up $10 - $15 million in the UK over the course of two or three fights until Joshua is ready. Then he can't be ignored. **** these million dollar pay days he's been getting domestically. He deserves more money. That market can support him right now, and it won't take a purse bid to do it (like the Povetkin fight, where he was supposed to get $4 million for a fight in Russia)

[Randall Cunning]

Think Hearn wants Wilder and Parker to fight one of his fighters before they get Joshua, to make the fight bigger. Would prefer Bellew/Parker and Wilder/Whyte. Wilder/Bellew would be sickening and I can see it happening.

[Woodmanblue]

Won't go as far to say, an easy nights work, but can't see Parker causing Dill many problems.
Punching power, defence, ring generalship are all lacking.

If I was Whyte I would be pushing HARD for this fight

[BigZ44]

This would be a solid fight if Whyte can get past Wach

[Caught Square]

Haha Whyte was licking his chops in the studio after the Parker fight, that's a good fight if the Wilder unification don't happen.
