Topic: [ BOXING FURY WON IN ROUND 6 ]: FURY vs WHYTE - THE FIGHT - page 13. (Read 1778 times)

But even if Fury goes toe to toe, I think Whyte can't hit him that cleanly because Fury is more of a technical boxer. He is so agile at his weight that he is really a freak of nature.

So yeah, I don't see Whyte getting a win in this fight. But it's a good test for Fury having to face another fighter that can punch and then clean up the division for good.

Many people might think of Fury vs Whyte as a mismatch but full credit to Whyte because he had to win his fights including coming back from defeats to Joshua and Povetkin. He managed to win his rematch against Povetkin in style so is in form. Let us not forget he has been a professional boxer for over 10 years and has a 30-2 record and 19 of those 28 wins were by knockout (9 were by the judges scorecards).

Whyte fully deserves his chance against Fury because the WBC made him number one contender. I see no scenario in which it is possible for Whyte to win the fight but regardless of the outcomes Whyte will have made USD$ millions from it.

12-0 now, Whyte will have zero votes here before the day of the fight, Whyte has power on both hands but he is slow and he is short unless Fury opted to engage and go toe to toe that's his only chance to land a punch against Fury, I guess it's good that Fury deals with Whyte first so there will be a build-up for the Joshua or Usyk fight, will there be a bet for Whyte before the fight? that's a huge jackpot if ever Whyte wins.

This will be a wonderful match to watch. It will be another big win for Fury again, but it's not going to come easy for him though.
The amount involved is a whole lot of money that is above some state allocation in my country.
Since both of them knew each other and trained together from the early start in their boxing career. This will be a tough match cos both are in their prime

It looks like it is going to be an easy money for Fury. On the boxrec, Whyte is top5 in the world and top3 in UK, meaning he is not the best of the best available.

Whyte is not a pure boxer. He did some MMA and kickboxing. These skills are useful, but completely useless against top1 boxer, against a guy who has been in boxing for whole life.

Despite Derek Chisora, I dont see any other strong boxer in Whytes record. Chisora is already a downed bomber and Whyte fought against he, when Chisora was already not in his prime.

I dont know why Fury fight Whyte, as for me it is mismatch. As if Fury just wanted to fight anybody, and Whyte needed a cheque.

this is my first time hearing about Whyte and I have no idea about his skills and techniques when fighting, but when what you say is true, this fight could be a great way to test his limits, improve himself, and come back stronger.

@OP you should also include their fighting style, reach, height, etc...(something like that). it would be good to see the difference between their physical stats.

The majority will have to go with Fury winning the fight. This will be another victory for Fury because Whyte is not technically gifted, it was his hard work and determination that made him get to WBC number one contender but he is not going to even get close to winning because Fury will probably win by clear knockout or TKO within 3 rounds.

Even if what you say were true, both Joshua, and Fury would have their motivation rekindled if the fight was to be scheduled. Fury against Wilder the first, and second time you could definitely see motivation. I get what you mean on the third fight, it seemed like Fury was getting lazy at times, but losing motivation after having a judge rule for the third fight, despite Fury arguably beating him twice before unofficially I guess that would demotivate you a little. Although, it was still a top notch fight.

Joshua has looked a little lost since his lost to Ruiz. He seems to have forgotten his power, and now seems to want to outbox his opponent. Forgetting his roots a little, since he's at his best when he starts trading. Although, since facing Ruiz who wasn't fussed at all fighting him in the pocket, and managed to clip Joshua just right, he seems reluctant to do that again. It'll be interesting to see how he comes out in the rematch with Uysk since he definitely can't go about it the way he did the first time. There's no way he'll end up outboxing him, he has to go back to his roots if he's to stand a chance.


Whyte definitely isn't a newcomer. Definitely been around for a decade at the very least. Has fought other big fighters, however hes never really been good enough to be considered a top contender. I'd say a excellent gatekeeper along with Chisora.

Because he just fought better opponents in his career. He won against Klitchko, who is basically a legend and broke Wilder's undefeated record twice.
Povetkin is probably the biggest name Whyte defeated, but it was a rematch for a lost fight earlier on. Also, Povetkin was over 40 at that time, 10 years older than Whyte and still managed to kick his ass.
Every time Whyte fought a famous name he lost (maybe besides Parker). You can see in his record a bunch of wins against less known fighters and then he gets a big name like Joshua and gets his ass handed to him.

Francis Ngannou will be rehabbing his injured knee for the next year or so. That removes him from the list of prospects Tyson Fury can face.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua could be the fight fans would like to see. But unfortunately, it seems that isn't the match up boxing promoters will pursue. Anthony Joshua looked done in his last outing. He looked like a fighter who lost all motivation. Tyson fury also appeared to have lost his motivation, even in his last rematch with Deontay Wilder. I wouldn't expect Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua to compete professionally in boxing for much longer. At least not at the highest levels of the sport.

Whyte appears to be a relative newcomer. I think the decision to face him, has a lot to do with Tyson Fury no longer having the motivation he once did to train hard in preparation for fights. Tyson Fury is looking for easy paydays now.

10-0 so far, no one voted for Whyte to win. lol

Well, it's going to be a big night for Whyte but for Fury it's just an ordinary night because he is used to this kind of situation and is currently the best heavyweight champion now, all the confidence in the world is on him. If Fury had some trouble with Wilder, I guess this would be an easier fight for him.

He really is a small draw compared if he is fighting Usyk or Joshua but Whyte is one annoying guy, he needs to dispatch this guy so no one will hinder a fight against Usyk or Joshua, Whyte has been calling all champions to fight him because he is a top rank contender because of his win against Povetkin


Fury is the big crowd and PPV attraction Whyte should understand that, it will be his turn if he beats Fury he should be happy that he is challenging Fury for the title this is his last chance to win a title and become a top boxer, we never know if he is another Andy Ruiz in the making, so far no one is voting Whyte on this poll and it's very obvious.

Even i am not expecting anything magical from Dillian Whyte against Tyson Fury but he was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua for a long time and he is waiting in the sideline for a long time to fight for the title and with Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are engaged to fight, it is a good match up as they were not having any opponents and they cannot wait on the sideline for a longtime waiting for the other fight to get over.

To be frank i do not want to see Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury in the boxing ring as there is nothing Tyson Fury has not seen inside boxing but if he is smart they should promote a fight between Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou to find out the heaviest puncher of all time and even in that fight i am expecting Francis Ngannou to gas out completely and Deontay Wilder tagging him in the later rounds .

My understanding is that Fury was trying to get out of fighting Whyte because he was a much smaller draw than Joshua or Usyk. Whyte on the other hand was trying his best to make the fight happen but he wanted more than the 20% of the funds that he was getting and he was not happy that Fury was getting 80%.

The Whyte team was not happy with the amount of money they were going to get therefore they were trying to avoid signing the contract in the hope of getting a better deal, they never avoided fighting Fury they just wanted a fairer share of the funds.

The teams behind Fury used the fact Whyte was not signing on for the fight as an excuse to go around trying to entice Joshua to take money in order to allow Fury vs Usyk to happen with a guarantee Joshua would be facing the winner but the WBC recognised Whyte as their number one contender and would have stripped Fury of the belt if the fight did not go ahead as a result of Fury declining to sign a contract to fight Whyte. Likewise, Whyte would have be stripped of the WBC number one contender if he was at fault for the fight not going ahead. That was why the WBC stepped in.

Rather than various negotiations between Fury and Whyte drag on and on after they had already failed 4 times and also with another problem by Whyte going to arbitration trying force a bigger pay day for himself, the WBC decided to allow any promoter to enter blind bids for the fight and forced both fighters to accept the highest bid and they had to accept how the WBC decided to split the money. All that happened because Fury and Whyte could not negotiate a deal by themselves.

What is interesting about the blind bidding process was that Hearn bid $32 million to promote the fight but Warren bid $41 million. it is said to be the largest ever purse bid in boxing history. Imagine how much Warren and Aram will be making for themselves after the international PPV sales are taken in to consideration.

29M for a single fight is more than a life time MMA career.  What change does Whyte against Fury? But maybe he is faster. He wouldnt be a boxer if he is whimp.

Such big money for a fight. Its no wonder Ngannou really wants to be in boxing than where he is good at which is MMA. Afaik they were tweet exchange with Fury between the two but have not madea huge buzz to make promoters interested.

I expect this to be an easy fight for Fury. He'll then likely go on to fight the winner of AJ/Usyk and then I'm hoping Tyson gets a fight sorted with Ngannou for next year. Is there a date set for this or an estimated time? Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get sorted because if AJ/Usyk gets done we could see the winners fight by the end of the year.


What exactly do these purse bids mean? When they're both the promotors of the fighters and it'll be a cross-promotion event why do they have to bid and what does that even mean for the fighters? I would've though that it'll be a joint-promotion and the governing body gets to decide the pay of each so why do the promoters have to bid for it?


A couple of pictures doesn't mean much. If they bump into each other on a night out they're likely to have a chat and take a picture. There's several pictures of Conor and Khabib seemingly pally if you go back far enough. Things can obviously sour over the years as well like they did with Connor and Khabib, but as Welsh also said they're obviously going to try sell the fight. Coming out and saying we're great of pals who go back years and I can't wait to have a nice friendly reunion in the ring doesn't quite get the same hype as I'm going to smash his face in. Even after all the shit talking building up to a fight most fighters who seemingly hate each other will usually hug it out or shake hands.

To be fair to Whyte he is the WBC number one contender and he earned that right by coming off a shock defeat to Povetkin only to bounce back and win the rematch. He deserves every bit of the $7.4 million, I agree with you.

And yes, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff if being mentioned as the most probable location. Maybe you will get a chance to go there and see the fight in the stadium.

As for Joshua, he denied ever being offered any money to step aside to allow Fury fight Usyk but Fury taunted him saying he lost an opportunity to earn $90 million (around $20 million to stand aside and then a massive purse to fight the winner of Fury vs Usyk and all the promotion and commercial contracts that go with it) but having said that Joshua denied it. Now his promoter Hearn has lost the opportunity to stage this fight and have his own undercard. Joshua can now focus on trying to win the rematch against Usyk with a guaranteed shot of the winner lining up a unification fight against Fury (most probably).

Like you I am glad Whyte will get a decent pay day guaranteed at $7.4 million for the fight with an extra $4.1 million if he wins but with all the deals he might be offered to promote commodities, products and services etc in television commercials he could make a lot more.

You think this is another great fight? This is another great fight mate because Whyte seems to have changed lately and to be honest, he was among the fighter I don't like to watch his fight before because he does a lot of talking than fighting in the ring but I was impressed he won his previous fight and he seems to be hungry for more win and this fight we make us know his current stance in boxing.

About Anthony's rematch, I think we are going to see revenge but Anthony needs to do a lot of homework and never make the same mistake again.

So far here in this forum it's 6-0 for Fury after his great showing against Wilder I don't he will lose a vote especially against someone like Whyte who tasted a huge knock from Alexander Povetkin who is an aging fighter[/quote]

Joshua takes revenge on his first loss just when everyone thinks he cannot revenge his first loss, I don't see why he can't get his revenge we should give Joshua a chance to prove himself again, Fury -Usyk or Fury - Joshua is still a good fight any fight about Fury is exciting and worth watching because of Fury's animated character outside and inside the ring.

Money wise? Yeah, one of the biggest purse including the bonus, and Whyte finally get his needed pay check as a heavyweight and have a chance to upset the balance if ever he upsets Fury here.


Joshua get to exorcise his demon against Usyk first before he can get to Fury for a good paycheck. So he is not stepping aside and let the Fury-Usyk fight.

And most likely winner of this fight gets the winner of Joshua vs Usyk.
