BRITISH heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte has been frustrated by his eternal wait for a shot a WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
Whyte has fought his way up the rankings and most recently defeated former world champion Joseph Parker in an exciting rumble. Talks with Wilderโs team though have long since fallen silent. The American has declared that he will fight former heavyweight champion of the world, the comebacking Tyson Fury.
โIโve been trying to fight Wilder for what, two years I think. Iโve been the number one challenger for about a year. Iโve had about 12 WBC sanction fights, Iโve had about 12 WBC title fights but it is what it is,โ Whyte told Betting Pro.
โThere is a lot of politics in the game and if you look at it this way, fight Dillian Whyte we lose it, itโs going to be a hell of a difficult fight but fight Tyson Fury heโs not going to hurt you because he canโt punch and heโs rusty as hell at the minute; Wilder has a good chance of knocking him out. Itโs a business; Wilderโs thinking, โIโll take the easier dayโs work.โโ
Whyte is dismissive of Fury. โIโm happy that heโs back; Iโm glad that he got himself out of a bad place but you know, Tyson Fury talks a lot of smack but he doesnโt want any smoke, he doesnโt want to fight,โ he said of his British rival.
โI canโt see him fighting Wilder but they agreed to a fight and heโll pull out with an injury because heโs not ready.โ
