WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte hasn’t yet commented on the record $41 million purse bid that will pay him over eight million dollars to challenge WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The WBC has now set a February 21 deadline for Whyte to sign for the fight.
Fury, meanwhile, is accusing Whyte of going into hiding in a social media video.
“This is a message for Dillian Whyte. Whytefeathers. Coward. Where are you Whitefeathers? You wanted your world title shot with Wilder for three years. You never got it. You was mandatory for me for three minutes and you got your fight, didn’t you coward? ‘Tyson Fury’s a coward, he don’t want to fight Dillian Whyte.’ But all of a sudden it’s on your toes and you’ve gone silent you little bitch. Come out of hiding Whytefeathers. Come and get it. You’re getting a good hiding. You wanted a bit of free money didn’t you dosser? But now you’re getting eight million, which is seven-and-a-half million too much for you, you old dosser. Come out and say something bum!”
And so the hype starts….PPV sales to be made and Fury knows every profanity is worth $$$$ to him so expect a lot more of it.
A v v good payday for Whyte in reality – better than he could reasonably have expected
sell sell sell
hopefully Fury puts his focus on getting fit and prepared.
Wilder3 condition wont be good enough
Damn, Fury is so freakin annoying. Miss the old days, grt into a scuffle at a promotion face off and go from there. This new vreed of athletes jus wanna talk ur ear off with nonsense. This is the kinda crap that makes me root for the other guy instead.
Frank Warren needs Tyson to sell this or he will take a bath.
Yea, ur right Bryan but us real boxing fans are gonna get it regardless. Those that are not true fans of boxing prob wont get it anyway due to Fury isnt a punisher in the ring. I guess he lip smacking is warranted lol
According to the Heavy Champ its okay and encouraged to have Twitter battles when not fighting. When was it hiding by not fighting on Social Media? White likely not liking a $33 to $8 million dollar split and trying to get some more money. Seems more a money grab as White is slowing down and only has punchers chance.
I dont expect either guy to come into this Heavyweight matchup in much shape.
It’s all HYPE! Trying to sell the fight but I’m not sure it working? It’s going to be hard sell to get the money back!
Warren may be secretly relieved if Whyte turns down this fight.
Even the fattest of fat Tyson will handle Whyte easily, lay on him all night and then smash him into submission
Fat Fury from Wilder3 is too vulnerable to Whyte’s body shots. That is the risk. Fury below weight of 260 it is a cakewalk. Whyte is chinny so he gets KO’d after 5 rounds.
Common now.
Is this real? D. W., so silent.
Well, we will see what will happen, people will tune in because it’s Tyson Fury and he has his own fanbase and Whyte is a puncher who can also be put on his back! Both fighters can be rocked so a knockout is almost guaranteed and heavyweight knockouts are something people will pay to see, no matter how ho-hum the matchup may be!!
I think that if they do end up in the ring that it could be a decent scrap while it lasts as I think Whyte has the puncher’s chance and Fury may be looking for the quick knockout in this one. One never really knows with Fury.
Whyte needs to strike while the iron is hot, may not get another opportunity like this and he definitely does not want to push too hard and get greedy and lose a big payday!
Whyte doesn’t deserve a big money fight. He weaseled out of his fight with Wallin claiming a fake injury.
If Whyte starts calling this fake gypsy names, he and his dad would be complaining.
Fury shouldn’t talk as he has gone into hiding from Usyk, in a fight that is a cinch to make. Fury’s big mouth and oafish style is cringy. I hope Whyte ducks him now, so he has no fight.
Really it doesn’t matter who fury fights, they will all get a ass whooping. Fury is a destroyer.
