He was not the mandatory he was ranked #1 there is a difference. Remember the Brezeale fight? He was ranked #1 than and Brezeale was the mandatory. He was supposed to fight Ortiz for the mandatory position.

Alright looks like AJ will face Pulev in December.
its the heavyweight division....it wasnt like it was a blatant lack of skill like wilder vs fury 1 and 2...both have power in their left hands...the knockdowns and knockout came from left hands..unfortunately its the guy who was mandatory for 2 years that got caught from the last remainder of the previous HW era
The WBC mandated that fight to make the winner the Mandatory. Whyte could have got his shot years ago if he took it. I mentioned Ortiz because of that and the fact that they said he was too old but end it losing to a fighter the same age as him.
talking about he ain't scared of nobody and will be back. Fear or lack there of has nothing to do with what this KO just did to his career. By the time he records he will be

whyte had some fails in his decision making..big fails...but he also increased his HW profile by taking and winning the fights he did.
povetkin is just a sneaky vet with power...who we have to confirm is not roided up

AJ out here providing great life advice.
A loss setting a boxer's career back, no shyt. Doesn't mean they can't still come back and move forward.

If he waited like you said, y'all would be the same people talking about Dillian Whyte is a bum, his last fight was Mariusz Wach

He was next period. He has an excuse to sit out. He had a good run of fights. He could / should have waited. Hope he made a lot of money for this fight. Also he could have signed with the PBC as a free agent and got the shot already.
Hearn shows Usyk more respect and he hasn't done shyt at HW.
Who did Fury fight before the Wilder fight?
