He doesn't really need to beat a ranked opponent to be then brought in as an opponent for a big fight.
At this stage Dave Allen we be a reasonable shout, maybe a good fight for both of them.

He fought Allen years ago didnt he?

Yes, and couldn't stop Dave then. I think Allen beats him.

Allen barely won a round.

Coming off a hand injury and with three weeks notice, IF it was Dillian's team, do you think Hughie should have said yes?

Yes. Nobody else wants him

Big Pharma would love the stigma of PEDs to be removed, laws changed, etc. Fortunes to be made in people messing with their natural hormones because once you've knackered your natural production up, you are more or less committed for life to keeping your levels balanced artificially.

Rich people making money out of dumb ass people, with low self esteem, who make dumb ass choices.

Yep 100%. The enhanced games. Weightlifting of course, sprinting ..Jesus Christ what next? Never boxing you’d think, but I’d not be surprised

As someone says, imagine if a 60-year-old breaks Usain Bolt’s record

That won't happen. The bigger concern for athletics is when the records don't get broken by these overt PED users...

I never said he did. Whyte is shot to pieces now, Allen has grown up a lot.

Still no opponent announced? Clarke said he'd take it if offered. I can't think Whyte has many better options with less than two weeks notice.

I just can’t see who this could be. Like to be a nothing undercard slot he will want zero risk… and with how shit Whyte is now that isn’t an easy ask.

I have heard hemi… (here), but I think hemi is too good for Whyte to chance it considering he has zero name value…

Whyte probably has a multi million dollar fight left in him vs AJ, or Parker, wilder, big bay miller, Ruiz , or chisora can’t see him gambling it and I think the most likely outcome is to announce one of those options and pull out of this..

I predict an unknown African, Whyte just needs to keep on winning in the hope of a big fight

DILLIAN WHYTE WITHDRAWN FROM IPSWICH CARD WITH 'BIG, BIG FIGHT' ON HORIZON

Heavyweight Dillian Whyte has been withdrawn from Saturday night’s show in Ipswich with a "big, big fight" in August now his priority.

The 37-year-old had been set to box over 10 rounds at Portman Road on the undercard of the show headlined by Fabio Wardley, who he manages.

But the event’s promoter, allegedly, has now revealed that Whyte will no longer be boxing at all.

It is the second time this year that Whyte has had to withdraw from a fight following the cancellation of his April 5 encounter with Joe Joyce after he cut his finger on a dumbbell in a freak gym accident.

“He’s not going to be on the card now,” Warren told allegedly on Wednesday.

“He’s had the opportunity for a big, big fight in August and we are looking to get that over the line at the moment. It is a big, big fight for him so that’s going to take priority.

“He wants that, he wants the bigger fight than he would be getting if he was fighting in Ipswich. That’s what is going to happen. It’s a really big fight.”

A source had told The Ring that a clash with New Zealand’s Hemi Ahio was close to completion for Portman Road as Whyte targeted his first outing since his December victory over Ebenezer Tetteh in Gibraltar.

At the press conference to announce Wardley’s fight with Justis Huni, where it was also confirmed that Whyte would be on the card, the former world heavyweight title challenger had told The Ring he wanted to get active again — but that will have to wait.

He said: “Inactivity has basically killed my career in the last three years.

“I am looking at having a big fight at the end of July or early August and I just thought I need some activity before heading into that.

“I thought I need to get active as quickly as possible because I’m serious about having a last run at it again and possibly fighting for the world title.

“So I want to put myself in the position that when it comes I’m not just there to take part but I’m going there with a high chance of winning because I will have some momentum behind me.”

However, it looks as though there has been a change of plan with Whyte instead being lined up to head straight into a different fight in a few months.

AJ could summon up some genuine hate against Whyte. I'd watch it.

I think AJ would waste him quick smart.
Whyte is quite chinny now.
Parker has some genuine beef with Whyte and that might last a bit longer

He’s shot to pieces. He only built the name he did due to performance enhancing drugs, the push Sky gave him & his opponents regularly having less than half the time he did to prepare but he’s a shadow of what he was back then.

Any decent heavy knocks him out next & I think he probably knows this which is why he’s cashing himself out to the highest bidder because he knows even a journeyman could stop him at this stage.

Talksport implying it’s a pretty big name.

Joyce?

Del's 50th.

I think AJ is the most likely

If they know, why wouldn't they say it? Probably Joyce, Joshua or Parker. Ruiz or Wilder would be wild card options.

Warren announced they'd announce it Monday latest

Ok here is my theory… and it’s detailed considering there is zero knowledge…

-they want to do Whyte vs Parker but can’t cause Whyte dosent have a wbo ranking for Parker’s interim title…
- they tried to get Whyte on this card in a fight that wbo would rank Whyte for…
- meanwhile fwank has been chatting up the wbo (he is a wizard wbo wisperer).
-fwank has convinced wbo to rank Whyte without a prior win and therefor pulls him from this card.
-Whyte vs Parker on the Usyk undercard…

It’s crazy… buttttt just Mabey it’s correct.

Logic to me says , He pulled out again , so it must be someone who is a big name , meaning BIG DOLLARS ,,, said big name needs to win , who needs a win and will probably be ready around then AJ , oUT COMES ALL THE GANGSTA BULLSHIT AND BOLLOCKS , In comes thousands of casual fans who think it might be competetive , , In comes AJ's much needed win , that says he's back and gives boxercise Ben an even bigger cult status , amongst all the fan boys , In comes the big dollars for Whyte , Its a win win
