[Grimmer]

Fight isn't happening.

Hearn confirmed on Twitter they're choosing someone else.

This is the same 90's fringe contender Michael grant!!!

This makes me sad. Michael grant is 45 and hasn't fought in 3 years hasn't won in this decade? And he's fighting again? This is dangerous for the mans health, how is this sanctioned and approved? These men hit more than hard enough to alter brain function significantly and old men are more susceptible, Michael grant? Cmon, that's brutal.

I didn't want to believe it but there is no excuse for this shabbles....None.

I'd rather it be Shannon Briggs.

The ole Cannon could do Whyte some serious harm.

Totally agree...............

Thank God for that, they have probably seen the outrage around the boxing community.

Whyte went from Wilder to Michael ****ing Grant??? think about that for a minute man

Fight of the century .

I didn't say it was a good fight ,whos he going to get in less than months time for a U.S opponent ? Grant on 3 fight losing streak would need the win so it would make for a fight where both are going at it . Whyte wants a tall guy its not what i want . No up and comer is going to risk their 0 ,on this event with such short notice now .

Yeah, problem is he's going to pull off another stiff from the pile as a replacement. Embarrassing..

if anthony joshua can fight bums like martin and molina on ppv or kell brook can fight jo jo dan or gaviin on ppv! Whyte fighting some washed up bum in a 8 rounder should be no surprise! These lying scumbags were using wilders name to gain cheap headlines! These snakes had no intention of fighting wilder! Also this snake hearn said today why is wilder fighting ortiz instead of whyte lmfao as if to say whyte is better hahahah

This is even worse than any of those fights you mentioned. Far worse.

lol i hear ya but he was looking for a tall opponent around 6'7 someone said. His choices were pretty limited. Yeah i see a short night but Grant is a name people are familiar with.

People are familiar with Grant having no business getting in a boxing ring at this stage. There is no justification for this fight and people trying to do that look silly.

Grant doesn't prepare him for Wilder at all.

I think you're more brain damaged than any former boxer.

i know but im not shocked at all... because 6 months ago on ifl tv hearn said whyte is going to america to fight in a 8 rounder lol... then 2 weeks later they starting talking crap about wilder to gain some headlines.... as usual ******ed americans believed these lying british c.untz and started bashing their own heavyweight champion for some fat out of shape bum.... now he is fighting in a 8 rounder as planned all along.... his profile is alot bigger in america because of all this bs and fake headlines... that was the objective from the beginning! eddie hearn is a very cunning operator and this was his strategy and it seems to have worked no matter what washed up bum whyte fights....
