Dillian Whyte shouted fellow traveler Derek Chisora for rejecting a Offer of $ 2 million To be the opponent for heavyweight prospects Moses Itauma on August 16 on Dazn PPV. Whyte (31-3, 21 CO’s) was then offered to fight, and he readily accepted.
Offer of $ 2 million rejected
Dillian, 37, does not understand why Chisora (36-13, 23 COs) chose to reject the battle offer because he has been sitting for five months since his last fight in February against Otto Wallin. He says the 41-year-old Chisora is not getting “younger” and is ’70 .000 years old ‘. Whyte believes that Chisora may not receive a similar offer of $ 2 million if he returns to the ring.
Chisora probably felt that his marketability would have been injured if he fought with the 20-year-old Southpaw Itauma and wiped out in one or two rounds. If he hangs around a little longer, he can be offered a fight that would pay similar money to be the opponent to someone like Daniel Dubois or Anthony Joshua, if they need a name that will sell in the UK.
“He said, ‘Why are you having this fight? ” Because I’m not afraid. channel about a conversation he had with Derek Chisora. “He said, ‘Why? “I said,” Bro, why am I going to take advice from you when I hit you twice? ” I said, ‘Bro, I almost ended your life.
Whyte accepted will build up a challenge
It is understandable why Dillian chose to fight Itauma. He can allegedly earn as much as $ 7 million from the fight after tabulating the PPV. It would almost equal to the $ 7.4 million It received his fight against former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in April 2022. Chisora may not have realized how much he could finally have made out of the Itauma fight. However, if he still has hope to be selected by Joshua or Dubois, you cannot blame him for suffering his nose on the $ 2 million offer.
“I said, ‘You can do what you want. “How long has it been since his fight (Chisora). said Whyte about Chisora.
Chisora’s financial freedom
Derek Chisora is rich with a fortune conservative estimated $ 8.5 million. With the considerable bank account, he is not as needy as other fighters would be if they were offered to be the sacrificial lamb for Itauma on the 16th map in Riyadh.
“Now, if there are danger and strings attached to it (a fight against Moses Itauma is offered),” Ah, no, I don’t want to fight. Nah ‘. He said he had received an offer of $ 2 million. He might get less for his next battle, ‘says Whyte about the $ 2 million Chisora offered to fight Itauma, which he rejected.
Weigh the marketability of the struggle
Derek sees the big picture. He knows that a loss like the one he could suffer against Itauma would be so bad that he would not be able to get the nice pay days for future battles. In a way, it’s smart that he rejected the battle. Whyte can live to regret the fight against Moses if he was badly pointed out, and found that he offered small wallets in future battles.
