Comments Thread For: Whyte: I Have a Feeling Fury Will Beat Wilder - Then Vacate WBC Title

I can see that happening, especially if Whyte gets the belt, then the rematch with AJ is on. Knowing the WBC if Fury vacates they may make Whyte fight for it and offer Wilder another chance.
Though once Whyte has it Eddie Hearn will want to keep the belts in house. So will set up AJ v Whyte before Fury. Also if AJ does fight Fury, and Fury has no belt AJ may give up the WBO as he knows he will be able to fight again for it against Usk or Parker, both Hearn fighters...and preventing Fury getting all AJ's belts if he wins.
So Hearn will continue to pressure for the WBC shot for Whtye as one of his heavies..
If Wilder wins, then the fight would go to a purse bid in which Eddie Hearn would most certainly win because he has deeper pockets than Al Haymon over at DAZN. However, if Wilder loses and then Fury subsequently forfeits his mandatory defense, then Whyte would become the new WBC Heavyweight champion by default.
Now as far as Usyk is concerned; Both he, Joshua, and Whyte are all promoted by the same company. Therefore, AJ and Whyte could easily offer him some set aside money and a promissory note in writing which promises him the winner of the fight.Comment

He has successfully made people pay attention to his supposed "mental illness" instead of saying he's a steroid cheat. And like Lance Armstrong, everything he has done every since, should be in question. I see through him the same way I saw right through Wilder all these years. Guys really thought that Wilder was the hardest puncher of all time a year ago hahah. Just like now, guys are saying that Fury is basically unbeatableComment

The hypocrisy is very interesting indeed. One also has to look at what both of them popped dirty for, as it doesn’t look like there’s equivalence.
Whyte got banned for consuming a readily available and popular pre-workout supplement amongst gym goers called Jack3D, which contained a prohibited stimulant, which he claims he was unaware of. On the other hand, Fury got popped for nandrolone, an anabolic steroid not readily available at all, which is administered by injection.
Make of it what you will, but it would seem that one is clearly worse than the other. And if you believe Fury’s extraordinary wild boar testicle excuse, then you have to be consistent in believing all other contamination excuses given by other boxers.Comment

To be fair Usyk doesn't deserve that fight. He's beat Witherspoon (on 4 days notice) and probably will beat Chisora (who is not even top 12). Then he gets to fight for a load of belts? Other boxers deserve that fight way before Usyk doesComment

Fury will be B-Side against Joshua regardless - The Ring just came back into rotation and doesn't have the same prestige anymore, people on NSB said that lineal doesn't mean anything, so what's left? The WBC. One title.
Vs. Joshua's WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA.Comment

Thing about Whyte is - he wants to fight good fighters. Povetkin is his 5th top 10 opponent. Fury and Wilder manage 3 between them. Go figure....Comment

What makes Povetkin such a fuc*king saint?
Maybe you just don't like Whyte but I'm willing to bet the majority of Povetkin lovers/Whyte haters do so because they are racists, plain and simple.Comment
