So why release a statement saying the reports are rubbish and lawyers are dealing with the false reports

Presumably some of what's been reported isn't true. Whyte and Hearn are playing word games - some of the detail in the reports might not be accurate, that doesn't mean the main point, that he tested positive for something, isn't true. Do you honestly believe that had this been completely untrue that neither Hearn nor Whyte would have directly said that he didn't fail a test? Of course they would, they'd be shouting it from the roof tops - Whyte's career and reputation is on the line.

Whether this failed test amounts to anything is another matter though.

Matchroom can't afford to lose Whyte this way...

Especially after this year.

Whether its true, false or not as bad as reported... they will do all they can to carry on as normal towards the WBC title shot.

Yep. With AJ losing, and he is not guaranteed to win that rematch, DW was Eddie's best chance of not letting Uncle Al have a grip on the Heavyweight division. He's losing his world champions quickly this year.

I wouldn't say it would be that bad. Losing Whyte and AJ is finished - they still have Parker and Usyk..

 

[lemonkettaz]

Yeh but both can be kept away from belts for years if AJ doesn't beat Ruiz and Whyte gets banned...

Hence Matchroom flapping because all the belts will be kept in the US for as long as they can get away with.... and just look at the WBC with Wilder and all the crap with that franchise belt..

Where does AJ go when he gets destroyed by Ruiz again?

 

[DJ85]

will Ruiz have to give up any belts due to mandatories If he does beat AJ again?

 

[e36Adz]

AJ will do Ruiz in the rematch, some positivity please lads!!

 

[DJ85]

Personally a big fan of AJ seen every fight! I hope he turns this one around. Whyte as well

AJ will beat Ruiz next time round. Stick behind the jab till the later rounds jobs done.

He got over confident in the first fight and rightly got tagged for it.

It’s what makes the division so exciting all 3 of them have vulnerabilities which keepspeople engaged.

Dillian Whyte tweeted .
Tweet from @DillianWhyte: I am so disappointed with the rubbish that has been said about me over the last few days.
I have lawyers dealing with it and I have been told that I can't talk about it for good legal reasons.
I was cleared to fight and I won that fight fair and square.
Thanks for the support


Hope he's legit. Otherwise his career is over.

Nah Snickers has got AJ's number and will batter him again.

 

[Quinnaay]

AJ will beat Ruiz this time, as Jim said he will fight smarter. He also rocked him early doors then rushed in and got clipped so he clearly didnt like AJs power.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Well since you have explained how Ruiz will beat him again at such granular level I’ve changed my mind completely!

ruiz took the fight very short notice against AJ he wasn't even fully boxing fit!

In the rematch he will of had a proper camp, he will ko AJ again

Someone who speaks sense. Mr Robot AJ is too stiff, too slow and too chinny to be Ruiz..

 

[e36Adz]

AJ simply needs to use his height and reach advantage, just sit behind the jab. No jumping in trying to finish it early this time because that's when Ruiz really let his hands go. It's worrying how tired AJ got though, he needs to be prepared to go 12 solid rounds this time.

Very interesting interview with the guy that broke the Whyte story.

Everyone said I was talking **** when I said AJ has no stamina and gasses really easily...
