Tyson Fury must face Dillian Whyte next if he defeats Deontay Wilder, WBC confirm

[smashup]

He's come on loads since that AJ loss, knuckled down and fought non stop beating decent fighters, wonder how binning Tibbs will come into play if he's in a war and there's no familiar voice in the corner?
He's still fairly open to a left hook which is Povetkins bread and butter and the punch Chisora was landing loads in fight 1.
Also the punch AJ had success with.
Gotta be careful early on, Povetkin had AJ rocking early on and is dangerous in the first half of any fight.
Should be a belter while it lasts 😎

I think Povetkin being that few years older than we saw against AJ is a big factor here and it's good timing for Whyte to face him now.

I really don't rate Whyte all that much. He has had some good wins since his loss but he seems a bit of a plodding slugger to me. Not much to his game and he held on by the skin of his teeth against a live Parker.

It's still an interesting bout though and he has definitely earned his shot for another title be it against Fury, AJ or Wilder.

Interesting.....

No problem with Whyte getting his shot just the gut feeling that we're going to miss the opportunity for Fury v Joshua at their peak. We've been here before....

& if fury wins & goes in another direction they'll just roll out the franchise champion bullshit

Deontay is such a sissy first name isn't it? DEON-TAY. Pure Black women bullshit creation. It's stupid. DEON-TAY! WTF?! What about George or Michael or James?

Deonte is a rare first name for men. Deonte is an equivalently rare last name too for all people. (2000 U.S. CENSUS)
Deonte was first listed in 1980-1989 and reached its top rank of #482 in the U.S. in 1994, and is currently at #1968. (2018 BIRTH STATISTICS)

Deontay is a phonetic spelling/misspelling, a not uncommon practice, but not "pure creation."




as far as pure stupid creation, how would you rank "ykdadamaja?"
