Well why did he call out Ortiz if Povetkin was available and what's going on with that fight?

[RHETOЯIC]

What is going on with that?

I think Hearn already put paid to that, Ortiz wasn’t the only one he called out. Povetkin should be his main goal, Shyte is too emotional like Wilder, they don’t think...

Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn, who promotes Whyte, is now trying to hastily organise a replaced fighter for the assignment.

The four-man shortlist of opponents consists of former world champions Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr, along with perennial contenders Luis Ortiz and Dereck Chisora.

“We will be reaching out to other players in the heavyweight division to see if they fancy it,” Hearn told Sky Sports News.

“I’d love to make Ruiz Jr vs Whyte, Wilder vs Whyte, Ortiz vs Whyte.

“Chisora is always ready. He is another name to throw in the mix, potentially, for Whyte if the Povetkin fight is delayed.

“He is always in excellent fights, always entertaining, he is on good form.

“But I really feel that Dillian needs to wipe that [defeat] off his record against Povetkin.

“That fight was planned for January 30 and previously November 21.

“Povetkin does need more time recovering from Covid but not too long. We expect him to have a four-week delay.

“When I conveyed that news to Whyte it didn’t go down very well!

“His first question was: ‘Who else can we fight?’

“‘Can we fight Luis Ortiz, Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr?’

“The answer is: ‘Yes any of those would be fantastic’.

“But he does want, more than anything, to avenge the defeat that he suffered at the hands of Povetkin.

“That is on his mind.

“So I said to him: ‘I think you should wait [to fight Povetkin]’.”

Whyte is never fighting Ortiz. They love dropping that name though.

[RHETOЯIC]

Povetkin is using the title as a nest for his eggs... he's sitting on it.

Whyte must slowly be realizing even if he gets the belt back, he'll never get a Joshua rematch.

This is about the ninth time Dillian Whyte has called out Luis Ortiz, Ortiz has said, “let’s do it” and nothing happened.

He called his Bluff and everybody went silent!
