Demsey Mckean might be his next if he wins this fight now in Brisbane

Dempsy wins, looks fresh afterr so is a chance for this i guess..... IS proper average, and a good warmup southpaw for any top 10. whyte november would be fun and id back it as a real posability but the dangling carrot of AJ might get in the way...

AJ in brisbane december.... 50,000 in a stadium, AJ with a highlight knockout overseas, fun for all involved. i feel dempsy will be fishing for that and unfortunatly might get in the way of whyte negotiations.

It wasca messy affair, Mckean does look very limited. Big lump but levels below the big names.
Liam Paro looked very slick on the main event for as long as it lasted, Jarvis was wild, such a crazy approach to the fight.

Or we watch it later because most of the card is kack and its easier to wait than waste a whole evening fast forwarding through one sided knock overs

There are only really three Saturday's in December which are possible. There won't be a big show on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. There isn't much money spent in January, so it's December or bust.

I'm thinking of punters actually going to the show kiwi , must knock attendances.

[garethhop]

Eddie’s saying he’s looking to do Wardley/Gorman and Babic/Rivas on this show too. If so, I bet he’s thinking PPV.

Absolutely no chance.

No chance he may look for it to be PPV?

[garethhop]

Yep. I would be absolutely amazed if that was PPV. They have to deliver something for the DAZN subscribers or they are screwed in the UK.

I don’t think it should be. I didn’t think Canelo/GGG would be over here either so who knows.

Agree that DAZN need to deliver something to their U.K. subscribers.

Righto, sorry- I'm so removed from the chance of going to them, that it doesn't even register for me.
I get it now.

Whyte has lost all credibility in his performance vs Fury, post fight excuses, not forgetting his behaviour leading up to the fight. Even before that few believed his pullout vs Wallin was legit.

Seemed to throw away all that good form, and improvements along the way, from those good fights with Chisora, Parker & Rivas.

Needs a strong performance vs a good opponent, and fast.

Dillian Whyte Vs. Jermaine Franklin Close To Being Finalized For Nov.26th

[Glass Joe]

had to boxrec that fighter

[gregregegg]

If it’s Whyte vs franklin, and DDD vs that south African, then they are both decent fights and it’s a hard choice as to what one to watch… that’s an ideal result for fans because it will mean if there going to compete for views they will have to do it on the undercard…

Gorman vs wardly would swing me as I think it’s better than either main event (if it all plays out that way)

They must want Johnny Fisher out again on this to fill seats. He's done 2-3000 for the Taylor show.

He is an unusually excellent ticket seller for someone that doesn't have established fame or success.

And he can't fight much!

I'd be amazed if he got past area level.

Unless his missus has fertility probs!

He definitely looks very raw. I thought he was absolutely awful in his first two fights but I think he has improved a bit. He's trained by Tibbs so you'd think he could get something out of him. I could see him grabbing the English/British title or something in a favourable matchup in a few years. Anything better than that would be surprising.

He only had a handful of amateur fights at club level so he has the potential to improve a lot training full time with someone like Tibbs

And sparring with Joe Joyce.

Dillian Whyte-Jermaine Franklin Nearly Done Deal For 11/26 At OVO Arena Wembley In London

Dillian Whyte’s return to the ring from his knockout defeat to Tyson Fury has been scheduled for November 26 in London.

Boxing Scene has confirmed multiple reports out of the United Kingdom that stated England’s Whyte will meet American Jermaine Franklin in a 12-round fight that night. DAZN is expected to stream Whyte-Franklin as a main event from OVO Arena Wembley.

The 34-year-old Whyte will fight for the first time since the undefeated Fury dropped and stopped him in the sixth round of their fight for Fury’s WBC heavyweight championship April 23 in London. The bout between Fury (31-0-1, 23 KOs) and Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) drew a record crowd of approximately 94,000 to a sold-out Wembley Stadium, right next door to OVO Arena Wembley, which has a capacity of approximately 12,500.

Franklin (21-0, 14 KOs) will box for just the second time in three years when he fights Whyte next month.

The Saginaw, Michigan native has fought only once since his 10-round, unanimous-decision victory over the Czech Republic’s Pavel Sour (then 11-1) in October 2019 at Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan. Franklin stopped Rodney Moore (20-22-2, 9 KOs) in the fifth round of that match May 7 at McBride Hall in Gary, Indiana, which ended Franklin’s 2½-year layoff.

While Franklin is undefeated and Whyte is coming off a knockout defeat, the Jamaican-born, London-based Whyte will represent a step up in class for Franklin. The 28-year-old Franklin appeared on course to make this type of move in his level of opposition after back-to-back 10-round victories over American veterans Rydell Booker (then 25-1) and Jerry Forrest (then 25-2) in 2019, but that commitment wasn’t solidified until three years later.

Franklin did, however, try to face Whyte last year. He told BS.com early last September that he signed a bout agreement for a fight with Whyte, but Whyte eventually agreed to oppose Swedish southpaw Otto Wallin last October 30 at O2 Arena in London.

Whyte later withdrew from his fight with Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs, 1 NC), reportedly due to a shoulder injury, on just 10 days’ notice. The Whyte-Wallin fight was not rescheduled, as Whyte instead moved forward with his long-awaited mandated shot at the WBC title against Fury.

A month away and no announcement. Poor.
