Topic: [ BOXING FURY WON IN ROUND 6 ]: FURY vs WHYTE - THE FIGHT - page 14. (Read 1778 times)

Not the kind of a blockbuster match I'd say. But still a great fight nonetheless. Although I think Fury will have a much easier opponent in Whyte than in Wilder, Joshua, Uysk, or others. I guess Fury will be a heavy favorite in this match with odds as low as 1.10 to 1.30.

It would have been a much more exciting fight had Joshua made way for a Fury-Usyk match but it is, of course, fair for Joshua to have a second match with Usyk. He deserves it. But since I think Usyk will still prevail the second time they will face each other, what's next would be the anticipated Fury-Usyk unification bout.

It's finally confirmed, I thought that Fury - Usyk fight is the one that will materialize but it's good that we have this fight on two fighters throwing insults to each other, Fury will be the heavy favorite here but I never rule out an upset Whyte is a very stubborn fighter with power that can rock any boxer, I'm thinking what if Whyte upset Fury, this will create a disruption in the heavyweight division with Fury, Wilder, and Joshua having losses,  things will be interesting if there's an upset and it will create build-up for fights against former champions.

That's the way of combat sports, right? If you aren't slagging off one of your old training partners or friends, are you even doing it right? In all seriousness, most fighters likely know it's to sell fights, and I'm pretty damn sure that the promoters encourage this sort of behaviour. You do get the odd few which are a little more tamer, but Fury has been known to pull all sorts of shenanigans in the build up to a fight. Just look at when he turned up in a batman suit.

I don't read too much into the trash talk before a fight these days, unless they do actually have a history. For example, Conor vs Khabib in the UFC while partly was for building the fight up, it most certainly did get real towards the end.

Warren posted a video on Twitter of Fury talking about Whyte: https://twitter.com/frankwarren_tv/status/1486635271772946437?cxt=HHwWioC-yea5y6EpAAAA

“I can’t wait to punch Dillian Whyte’s face right in mate.  I’m going to give him the best hiding he’s ever had in his life, boy. Dillian Whyte, train hard sucker ‘cos you’re getting annihilated, bum.”

They both decided to forget they knew each other in their early days working together and are now just resorting to insults

Massive purse, and I'm honestly glad to see Whyte get his chance finally, while also getting a decent purse despite only having 20 percent. Obviously, I'll be routing for Fury, with hope still in my heart that the Joshua, and Fury fight happens. However, I hope it's an absolute war on the night. I think Fury goes back to his technical boxing with this one, and avoids too much trouble. If I was going to bet money on it, I'd probably go with a Fury decision since you'll get decent odds because of his recent history with Wilder.

Although, I think the knockouts came from Wilder's lack of defense, and the fact that Fury had to change his style to make sure that the fight didn't go to the decision after the absolute robbery of the first fight.

The absolute cherry on top is I'm hearing this is going to take place in Cardiff. I might actually have to try, and get me some tickets.

It's disappointing, but it does give Joshua the chance to get his belts back, as well as his pride. Then, hopefully Fury gets the win, and we can finally have the big fight we've all been waiting for all these years. I'm not betting any money on it happening though.

I don't actually think Joshua is going to get the win though, unless he goes back to how he used to fight, and put it all on the line, and look to knock out Usyk. That's the only path to victory I see for him, as he's definitely not going to outbox him.

At least he accepts defeat now instead on whining like a baby and saying random reasons.lol

Sorry for OT,
In topic reply on which i wouldnt really be having no doubts on betting with the GK. Whyte isnt the type that could level with Wilder in terms of fight performance imho.

I think this is another great fight and as always, I can never bet against Fury as he is the king of the heavyweight division.
The poll is not up yet, but you know what fighter I will vote to win.

So what we are going to see is this fight and a rematch of Joshua and Usyk.

Wilder seemed lost now.

UPDATE: Fury wins by knockout in round 6 !





Tyson Fury is going to fight Dillian Whyte for the WBC world heavyweight belt.

That means Joshua will not be taking a fee to step aside to allow Fury to fight Usyk. The re-match between Joshua and Usyk is going to happen too with the winner probably going to have a unification fight with the winner of this fight.





The WBC effectively forced Fury and Whyte to negotiate but allowed Fury to $29.5 million and Whyte will get $7.4 million but the WBC did something they have not done before, they have decided to give 10% of the money to the winner as a bonus which equates to another $4.1 million on top of their share.

Matchroom Boxing (Hearn) bid $32 million but Queensberry Promotions (Warren) bid $41 million and that means Whyte gets the opportunity to fight Fury most probably in the UK. Fury tweeted: "BIG GK IS COMING HOME, UK BABY"
