News Francis Ngannou/Dillian Whyte Virtual Press Conference Sat 30th

[2Wasted2Day]

7pm GMT

Are they really going to put this fight together???
Once in Boxing and once in MMA,
That's the rumour although I'm guessing just a boxing match.
Eddie and Dana seem to have a bromance going on and have stated they would like to work together in the future.
Does anyone really care???

Well lets wait and see what happens.

Whyte any good?

 

[CallMeCasual]

Dillian Whyte is a kickboxer, not just a boxer, I believe out of all boxers, he would do the best in the Octagon.

 

[Gilday]

Pretty sure Whyte has fought in MMA before

Yeah back in 2008, when he was 19 y/o.

Whyte is a beast, but I’m sure i have seen him rocked a number of times. Most recent by Rivas

No one can handle The Windmill of Doom. Hide all your boxers.

Yeah he has, but to be fair he loves a tear up that lad. He has a devastating left hook. I would love to see both matches.

Whyte any good?

He's a decent boxer. His only professional loss is to Anthony Joshua, who Whyte had beaten as an amateur. He has a respectable kickboxing record, and has had a single MMA fight, which he won via Ngannou-esque windmilling.

Honestly, I think this is a good idea if they do it soon. Francis is waiting on Stipe - DC, and Whyte is waiting on the Fury - Wilder - Joshua situation before he gets his shot at upgrading his interim belt.

I'd prefer it to be an MMA fight, because Francis would likely get mauled in a ring and Dillian holds an interim belt, but we'll have to wait and see I guess.

He’s an easy top 5 heavyweight who has beaten parker and knocked out chisora clean

this is going to go so bad for francis omg.....

Yeah, it's not debatable that Whyte has better technique, and Francis doesn't have the size advantage. I'd watch the fuck out of it, but Whyte isn't a massive PPV draw and nor is Francis, so I think I'm probably in the minority.

 

[Eticycle]

A boxer with one loss? He's irrelevant

 

[Gambit MMA]

Kind of a random fight but it def could be entertaining. In boxing Dillian would stop Francis. an MMA fight is more intriguing. A boxing match is the likely scenario tho. MMA fighters are trying to crossover and fight boxers due to more $$$$$ being involved.
