If this is supposed to be a joke it's in bad taste.
Someone posted it on Facebook...surely bullshit
I hope so.

People throw a lot of goofy comments around on Facebook and other social media.

Reports of ultrasound test coming in now. It's looking more likely this fight is off. I think the only option they have is Derek Chisora. Whyte isn't going to want to turn down Helenius who he's a big favorite to win, to get KO'd by Joshua.

I wonder if he's praying for a boy or a girl.

Unless he’s getting ££££ - £4m Pulev was getting might sway it.

All over Media now as well - they are likely desperately trying to get replacement sorted.

Think of finance at stake - Arena payment - 80,000 refunds of tens of millions - TV cash etc.

surely Whyte would take a huge lump of cash to save the card?

It happened 10 days ago but had the ultrasound today. Reveled a tear from his shoulder right down into his chest. No way he'll be able to fight like that.

Absolutely and there’s an obvious needle/grudge.

He's praying for whatever deontay Corleone tells him to pray for.

Big Baby Miller should step in.

Pulev against Joshua wasn't competitive.

Miller vs Joshua would be a hell of a lot more interesting than Pulev vs Joshua was. I doubt Miller jumps in on that short of notice, but that'd be a real treat.

Nobody in the us knows who Miller is. Wouldn't hurt a thing. Christ, I've never seen him fight.

You don't lose one fight due to a failed Drug Test, and then pick up a bigger one as a result of said failed drug test. Doesn't work that way.

I wouldn't be pissed off with Whyte II only IF Chisora steps in to face Helenius.

Ortiz didn't fail a drug test, despite I have to admit Eddy Hearn is very scared of Ortiz.

Whyte is overrated. Has he even improved since the Joshua fight?
