    No. He's riding a wave and a PPV attraction in the UK. A big fight in the US against a name would be his best bet, maybe Breazeale or Ortiz. No point tying himself up fighting fringe contenders for peanuts when he's already on the verge of a title shot.

      That's cool, but that doesn't mean much going forward.

      Eddie has hitched his horse to Joshua, and that's clear. Whyte needs to look after himself

        I just hope this is true....


        Does the WBA have ANY rules? Based on how they operate, I'd be shocked if they do anything other than winging it.

            He's not mandatory for either WBC or WBO though

              exactly this. Big difference between Wilder Fury 2 on US PPV turning down Joshua vs Whyte turning it down.

                  No, the WBA is always doing a goddamn tournament and it never gets finished.

                  Wlad, Fury, Ortiz, Ustinov, Oquendo, Chagaev, and Browne were meant to have already settled the interim, regular, and super disputes making there only one WBA champion. What happened?

                  Oquendo never got a fight because everyone who has been scheduled to fight him since like 2014 has failed a drug test or some **** like that.

                  Wlad and Fury settled who was Super champion and then Fury ****ed off out of boxing, also, failed drug tests.

                  Ortiz-Ustinov never happened because King Kong failed drugs tests.

                  Chagaev-Browne happens and then Browne failed drug tests.

                  So what happened to the last WBA tournament? Not a single ****ing one of those fights meant that damn much in the end because they either never happened or the winner immediately pissed away their success so not one of them got past their entry fight in the tournament.

                  No one went to round two. Not a single ****ing participant.
