Whyte signs just before deadline
WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte made WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury wait, but in the end he signed the contract to fight Fury just hours before the deadline. Whyte objected to the 80/20 split in Fury’s favor, but after a record $42 million purse bid he stood to lose an $8 million payday if he didn’t ink the deal. Fury-Whyte is expected to take place April 23 at the massive Wembley Stadium in London.“Oh my God!,” said Fury in a statement. “Dillian Whyte has signed his contract for $8 million, what a surprise. What an absolute idiot. Should this even be a talking point? The man has signed for the biggest payday ever in his life.
He sarcastically added, “Oh my God! My head hurts from all the mind games that Dillian Whyte’s been playing on me. Oh my God! I’m so sore. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going. My training camp’s a mess.”
“I’m going to bust Dillian Whyte like a water balloon,” Fury concluded.
However , the BBBoC cannot overturn the result of the fight and Taylor has stated he is moving up a weight so a rematch is unlikely.
Then there is no point.
We all hold post mortems when our teams are robbed off a penalty or a goal wrongly disallowed as being offside. If and rightly so, decisions can't be overturned, what does it achieve?
If they could demand a rematch then fair enough. Catterall is already feeling hard done by. What if the investigation goes against him as well? Would be like rubbing salt into his wounds.
A case of the BBBoC flexing muscles they don't have? I would like to see the letter they send Catterall.
"Dear Jack,
you were utterly robbed in that fight but tough titty."
Yours Sincerely
