Warren to Whyte: No rematch

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has rejected calls by Dillian Whyte for a rematch with Fury due to a push. “No,” Warren told talkSPORT. “What for? Based upon what? Listen, when I was really young I was asking to take Julia Roberts out, it never happened. Where do you want to go with it? It’s not even debatable. It’s not going to happen, Dillian. You’ve got to fight your way back into contention and, you know, good luck to you doing that.”

    • Good life lesson here. Whyte was difficult to deal with for the whole promotion. Kept complaining about how the promoter cost him millions yet never looked at the massive bid Warren made to promote this fight. Yes he got a low % but a low % of a massive pie. After all that complaining, not showing up for the promotions, and then losing all but maybe one round before getting ko’d with one punch…does he really think anyone is now going to go out of their way to help him?

    • It was a dull fight apart from the rough tactics in the 4th and the KO punch.

  • It wasn’t gonna get better. The uppercut he didn’t see coming knocked him out. Not the push.

    • He didn’t see the uppercut. It didn’t even land particularly flush but still ended the fight comprehensively.

  • Whyte is a delusional and bitter person who has been brutally ko’d in 2 of his last 3 fights and needs to get back to the drawing board or become a human air-conditioner with those massive missed punches/swings of his.

  • I don’t think there’s a desire amongst anyone not named Dillian Whyte to see this one again, even if Fury fights on until he’s 45. Whyte just turned 33, a pretty good age for a heavyweight, so if he’s interested in grinding again, he may get another shot at the title before his career is over. There’s a lot other interesting fights for him. I’d want to see him take that fight with Otto Wallin they were talking about late last year.

  • If not many were interested in this fight, who in this world would want to see it again? It was kind of relief when the fight concluded and hopes are now to see other less predictable encounters.

  • They should’ve checked Fury’s gloves after the fight. He would’ve beaten Whyte regardless but it’s really odd how he couldn’t hurt Steve Cunningham or Klitschko and suddenly in his past few fights has gained a massive punching power. He claims its because he started training with sugar hill and goes to his gym and wallah he became earnie shavers overnight, if that’s the case why didn’t Paulie mallignani Or Devin Haney go there then lol

    • He brutally KO’d Cunningham if you remember correctly. The change in punching power is a simple matter of punching off the front foot more often. When he was hitting on the move it didn’t optimise his power.

  • If fury didn’t push him he would have fell face first, probably actually helped him

    • True. There was nothing in that fight to suggest that a rematch would end differently or be entertaining in the slightest.

  • Rematch for what? The bum has already been knocked out by Joshua and Povetkin he is nothing more than a glorified Derek Chisora a 2.0

  • Thats what I keep saying that bastard fury pushed him it wasnt a KO, we need to stop featuring WWE movements in boxing , it makes boxing fake!!

  • Whyte should fight Wilder the bronze bummer “King of the excuses”, lol.
