bannedfromHandV Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Shit fight, great knockout. Can’t believe anyone’s calling that a soft hit, he clocked him right on the jaw and Whyte was gone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Gulf in class was huge, respect to both fighters but White had to make it a brawl it was his only chance. White was only in there because Joshua wouldn't step up. Lennox Lewis was the last Heavyweight fighter to hold the undisputed Championship, I wonder if Tyson Fury is interested to fight the winner of Usyk / Joshua. He should be.

I’m fairness to Whyte, he did deserve his shot more than anyone. WBC messing with him for 2 years when he was mandatory. At least he’ll know right now he came up well short. He’s 35. 8 million richer. Can call it quits. Edited April 24, 2022 by Johnnyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Much respect to the promotors for selling 94000 tickets and whatever PPV they got for that nothing card, how many social media wanna be types went just for their sm posts/likes, I wonder how many real fight fans went to that one. Games gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Whytes finished. He might as well retire now. Unless he waits to see if fury retires then he will have a chance. Hopefully fury fughts winner of aj -usyk then calls it a day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its incredible they sold 94,000 tickets when even the main event was a foregone conclusion that went exactly as the majority predicted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I reckon wilders binding his time. Waiting for fury to retire then he will fancy his chances of clearing out the heavyweight division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yes the only mark Fury had on him was from the headbutt. Probably one of the easiest fights hes had. I dont think Fury will fight again, only in exhibitions. Hes loaded, he is the only Heavy weight champion to remain undefeated apart from Rocky Marciano. The only reason boxers come out of retirement is because they need the money. Would have liked to have seen the Fury v Joshua fight when Joshua held the other belts but that has gone.

Phil Silvers Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 He might fight Francis Ngannou asap before he starts putting weight on, just for the money. Would have liked to see him fight Joshua before his stock started falling, he's just a busted flush now and wouldn't cope with Fury at all. If Fury wants to really thank the fans he'd stay in shape and fight Usyk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Whyte was just in that for the money. which is why he fought so hard for his side of the purse, he knew he didn't have a chance. I said previous, wouldn't surprise me if it was sorted for the 6th, they were pally enough to sort something. Fury will be back to fight AJ or Usyk, he loves the sport and loves the money.

A few have alluded to there possibly being something a bit iffy about the timing, Fury was talking to him a lot during the 5th, Fury was also talking to people outside the ring too, particularly when they were getting ready to start the 6th, surely there couldn't be anything a miss, not in boxing surely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it looked well dodgy at the time. Strange that MTK shut down the same week as the fight and lots of comments distancing the Fury camp from the Kinahan OCG. rigging it was probably the pay-off (pure guesswork on my behalf!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ye are reaching here lads. Fury regularly talks to opponents in the ring during the fight.. And ringside. He’s always done that. The closure of MTK happened on the heels of the CEO quitting and the week before the US putting sanctions on them so that was all going to accelerate quickly. Been fight week was purely coincidence in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, however, watch that uppercut from multi angles and that was a genuine shot, I'd add to this that there were less then 10 secs of that round left when he hit the ground. As with any conspiracy theory, we sound like clowns until it comes out, if ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only spitballing to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
