Great fight, hope it happens. Good on Whyte if he takes on a guy who could easily be ignored until he’s just too old to compete. Hard to know what Ortiz will have left, pick em for me.

I'm the same.
This is 50-50 right down the middle and a more brutal tear up you could not wish for.
Gun to my head is favour Dillian purely as he's got youth on his side and is on a great run at the moment.
Being the first man to put Parker on his ass must have given him a shitload of self belief and I think he'll be working on his fitness and stamina even more after Parker nearly turning him over at the last hurdle.
This is a proper old school shoot out.
I do have a gut feeling that the Chisora rematch might still happen instead just because it makes way more money.
Hope I'm wrong as I love this fight 😎

He’s probably just giving Chisora a wake up call by responding to Ortiz, but nonetheless I’ve gotta give him credit.
He could easily take a stay busy in December, virtually knowing he’s got a rematch with Joshua in April. So to take on either Chisora , who he had trouble with, or someone of Ortiz’s quality regardless of his age, is a pretty ballsy move.
I’m not that big on Whyte as a Boxer, and he can talk like a prick at times, but I massively respect his attitude.

So what happens if Ortiz up and upsets Whyte.... does he step in as WBO mandatory for AJ? Or does AJ skip Ortiz and move directly to Pulev/Fury?

[Freedom]

I hope it happens.

Lots of heavyweights including Whyte have avoided Ortiz over the years.

But Luis is older now, and somewhat faded, so it's possible Whyte might man up and go through with it.
