They’re not brothers
I didn't know that. They have always been introduced in interviews as brother's
Either way, Dean comes over as a really decent guy and this is a terrible loss for him and his family

Of course. RIP. It’s odd that they pretend to be brothers when they’re not. Also Dean’s real name isn’t Dean Whyte. It’s something else.
But a tragedy nonetheless

Will be fascinating to see the crowds at these London shows next week. Plenty of good cheap seats left for this show. And fpr Parker/Ryder where the arena will only be partially open (what were they thinking?....)

Probably easiest to make the Ally Palace look full?

Yeh, just use smaller arena's and when they're full, you can say it was a sell out.

Even the Royal Albert Hall is decent small-ish venue.

Yep. Ally Pally will look busy but will probably have less than the other 2. I think Boxxer are actually doing a going job of padding the crowds. They gave loads of freebies out for the Coventry show a while back and I’ve got mates that had freebies to the Marshall/Shields show and their last London show.

Stupid for all 3 to be going on the same weekend. Particularly when we have just the one this weekend and it’s smaller than all 3 of the shows next week that are in the same city with the Fury fight in London the weekend after.

My favourite fight next week is probably Ryder/Parker but this is the best show I think.

The Boxxer show is Sunday isn't it?

Hard to tell from his opponents, I agree.
He scraped past Forrest, that is probably his best win. He never looked in trouble during the fight, but neither did Jerry.

Franklin is bad. Whyte is bad himself so who knows. He should win this. Whyte has been the poorest British heavyweight to have earned so much money.

Crazy 2 decent shows on the same night in the same city, with no football on too so people looking for something to do have to choose

Two guys never done better than a second tier trinket, and yet they have earned tens of millions.

So unfair when you think of fighters of the past. Bruno better than all of them and making less and having to get walloped by Tyson for his money.

Not expecting much from Franklin. Shane McGuigan was on Bunce’s podcast & says Dubois has sparred him. Apparently Franklin has lost every round & doesn’t throw a lot. Not exactly encouraging.
