Dillian Whyte vs. Mariusz Wach - 7 December 2019

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

Dillian Whyte returns to action against Mariusz Wach on the same bill as Anthony Joshua's epic rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia.

The British heavyweight faces Wach, a former world title challenger, ahead of Joshua's massive showdown with Ruiz Jr on December 7, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Poland's Wach has proven his grit while extending Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin into the later rounds and will be hoping to drag Whyte into a dramatic battle after rejuvenating his career with two victories in his home country.

Fellow Brit Tom Little will also be targeting a huge upset on the undercard as he takes on Mahammadrasul Majidov, the former world amateur champion.

Alexander Povetkin's explosive encounter with Michael Hunter has already been confirmed, along with Filip Hrgovic's step-up in class against Eric Molina on an action-packed evening of heavyweight fights.

The talented young duo of Hopey Price and Diego Pacheco will also be eager to impress at Diriyah Arena.

Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn said: "This wraps up a huge card for what will be a historic night for the sport.

"Ten big heavyweights will descend on Diriyah to cause a shockwave through world boxing as Saudi Arabia hosts one of the biggest heavyweight fight of all time. Ten days to go!"


Adam Smith, Head of Sky Sports Boxing, said: "Anthony Joshua's epic rematch night has even more heavyweight fireworks as Dillian Whyte battles Mariusz Wach on a bill which is brimming with big punchers.

"Whyte will be seeking to showcase his power against the battle-hardened Mariusz Wach, while the likeable Tom Little receives a dream fight against Mahammadrasul Majidov, the former world amateur champion.

"Hopey Price and Diego Pacheco are also keen to display their talent on a momentous night for the sport as we build towards Joshua's spectacular showdown with Ruiz Jr."

Short notice and first time back. I'll give Whyte a pass on this fight. He SHOULD give Wach a proper shellacking.

Perhaps if it was Whyte v Hrgovic and Majidov v Molina, to go along with Povetkin v Hunter. That reads so much better.

Whyte has to knock Wach down and out to make a statement.

In terms of the level of opposition, to be fair, Hearn did say it wouldn't be a top 15 opponent. Whyte has also fought top 25 opponents one after another for a couple of years now. This is a stay relevant, keep busy fight while they work out the UKAD issue.

In the scheme of things Rivas and then Wach is really not bad at all for HWs these days.

I gave Whyte a pass on this one. When was the last breather he's had? Maybe Wach can still be a tough out, who knows.

He has to stay busy. If Wilder Fury happens, he is going to have at least another 8 months at #1 contender*

*unless they move someone above him again.

Well, there's also that one spends all fight running from punches and the other is the best in the division at eating them

I guess my expectations are such that I hardly ever expect anyone to have more than 1 decent fight a year

I hate Whyte, but I'm a boxing fan first. He had a tough fight several months ago and went through some mental and emotional troubles. I can't blame his handlers for having a percieved easy fight now back.

So will Whyte eventually get a 4 year plus ban, considering it will be his second offence?

Lol that's just the HW division for you

We've also got both Furys, Ortiz, Miller, and so on....maybe they could poach some of them to make it 8 of 8 :yay:
