    Fury vs Whyte

    Considering that Top Rank were only willing to offer $5.5m to Whyte, he stands to make potentially a lot more from purse bids, even with 20% of the split. It will be interesting to see if either any of Boxxer, PBC and Triller bid. This could be a big coup especially for Boxxer.

    Fury vs Whyte

    About time. Purse Bids are going to be interesting for this fight Could see BT, DAZN and Sky all going big. Fingers crossed for PBC/Showtime outbidding them all.

    DAZN Conor Benn Vs. Chris Algieri On Dec.11th

    I'm 99% sure Boxingnews24 is a parody site used to generate traffic towards the ESB/boxingforum24. It's the reason I joined that forum, 12 years ago

    people think Whyte has a shot against Fury

    Is the problem that some people just don't want to watch boxing? Fights are decided in the ring, not on paper.

    * Whyte out* Oct.30th Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin DAZN

    Considering all the people crying about Whyte not rescheduling the fight, it's pretty obvious that the real issue is Whyte wanting the Fury fight.

    * Whyte out* Oct.30th Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin DAZN

    Dillian Whyte is 33. By the time he has his next fight, he'll be nearly 34. If he reschedules the Otto Wallin fight, the best case scenario would be that he maybe gets a World title shot late in 2022 or early. I don't think anyone could come up with a rational argument for Whyte to fight Wallin...

    * Whyte out* Oct.30th Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin DAZN

    He gains most from taking the time to recover from his shoulder injury and either making the Fury fight, or forcing Fury to vacate.

    * Whyte out* Oct.30th Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin DAZN

    Fights get cancelled all the time. Besides, if Whyte were to reschedule the Wallin fight, what certainty is there that the WBC wouldn't just strip him of the Interim title for being unvavailable to fight Fury? There's a saying that comes to mind. Don't set yourself on fire so you can keep...

    * Whyte out* Oct.30th Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin DAZN

    Most likely the fight is cancelled for good. There's no reason why Whyte would risk losing his mandatory spot, when he could be fighting for the WBC belt next.

    Canelo vs Plant Nov.6th PBC Showtime PPV

    That demand won't disappear with the new date in mind. The main problem for Canelo was that negotiations with PBC/Plant dragged on so long, that he was unable to find a willing opponent for September. By pushing his next fight date back to November, in theory, it allows PBC to find an suitable...

    the boxing genie grants you 1 wish to improve boxing, what will it be?

    One wish would be for PPV to disappear. Would make all the bigger fights a lot easier to make.

    "Big Baby" Miller fails another PEDS test. Out of Forrest fight.

    Why would he do anything high level? He's only been tested a few in his career. It just so happens all of those times were in the last couple of years. Next time, he'll just pick a state the doesn't drug test when applying for the license, and go back to fighting without testing.

    Why is Hearn so much better at making great fights compared to Al and Bob

    It basically comes down to money. Promoters and boxers in the UK make the majority of their money from ticket sales and PPV. TV rights for non-PPV fights are negligible in comparison. As a consequence, Hearn's priority is to maximise the venue size and put on as many PPV selling cards as...

    Tyson Fury: Allegations of falsified statements to UKAD

    Doubtful. Fury already admitted to wrongdoing when accepting a backdated ban. Even if UKAD were to ban him again, bans in the UK aren't enforced by commissions in the US anyway

    Money May offers to train Wilder to beat Fury

    Wilder just needs to go back to windmilling. Try and catch Fury cold from the start with a few rabbit punches and he could finish it in the first round. No point trying to turn Wilder into something he isn't.

    How does Tyson Fury’s gypsy backstory play..

    Basically, you're just plain wrong. Lewis was popular. If he had fought in the UK more, it would have been more obvious. All the stadium fights tend to have involved fighting for or defending a World title. Anthony Joshua, Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton are the only boxers to headline...

    Does anybody want to see a third fight between Wilder and Fury?

    Not really, but I can understand why Wilder and his team want the rematch.

    "50/50 for winner of Wilder/Fury" Eddie Hearn

    It didn't specify BT in the term sheet. It specified that Wilder/PBC would have choice of broadcaster, the PPV cost and the split of that PPV income between the broadcaster and PBC. As Shelly Finkel had already been in talks with BT there is a strong possibility that they could have chosen BT...

    Why didn't wilder unify

    You were incorrect. I have given the timeline of when Klitschko was unavailable. Fury pulled out of the rematch twice, not once. Klitschko didn't retire after that, Fury did. The timeline the OP referred to is since Wilder won his belt in January 2015. Klitschko wasn't tied up by the Fury...

    Why didn't wilder unify

    Your recollection is incorrect. Wilder won the WBC belt in January 2015. Fury fought Klitschko in November 2015. Wilder fought twice between Klitschko - Jennings and Fury - Klitschko. He could easily had pursued a unification before Klitschko - Fury but chose not to. Obviously after Fury won...
