For Whyte, it's a case of here we go again !
It still seems incredible Whyte keeps beating contender after contender and hasn't had his title shot. It beggars belief, even in this day and age.
Another place, another time and he could conceivably have been matched for a vacant world title against some of his opponents, from the first Derek Chisora fight onwards, and have made 4 or 5 defenses. There's been plenty worse world title challengers than some of the guys he's beaten.
When you think of the amount of boxers plucked from obscurity to fight for a world title shot, Whyte has been treated so poorly.
Anyway, this should be a real bruiser of a fight and the silver lining for Whyte is at least he's been paid well for his fights.
Definitely. I just think, there’s one reason why his team aren’t hyping him as “the British Sonny Liston.” He sometimes shoots himself in the foot. Those dire fights with Wach & Allen, for instance. The pair of PED controversies. The negativity and whining, the sense of entitlement. And, his face just doesn’t fit. He’s the malcontent, angry young man type.
But he’s a very deserving contender, has been in GREAT fights, takes risks and would give any champ a hard night. If he’s fighting someone good, I’ll watch it.
