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

[NoSavingByTheBell]

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.....

[Mark TKO]

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?"

Was just hoping for a heavyweight unification

Critical week for Fury-Wilder 3
Top Rank hopes to put the rubber match between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former champion Deontay Wilder on Dec. 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with a limited number of fans.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Las Vegas’ convention business is struggling badly, putting the casinos in a terrible financial spot. And the National Finals Rodeo, which has been a huge financial windfall for the town and its casinos for more than 25 years, has been canceled.

Thus, there is hope in the casino industry that the fight could occur at Allegiant Stadium with 10,000 to 15,000 fans well spaced.

This week will be critical to that effort in getting it done.

Fury is a -290 favorite at BetMGM. Wilder is +230.
