What is this? The title says something different from the content

Miller doesn't deserve a fight with Joshua. Saying it builds Joshua in America is BS, more people probably know Whyte than Miller in America.


Whyte confirming Klitschko is coming back.

I didn't read the other thread but I think people are getting the wrong end of the stick. Dillian didn't say he's a free agent.

He said Joshua won't fight him. The interviewer then referred to him as a free agent in that context - ie he's free to fight anyone.

Dillian specifically said he's not looking to leave Matchroom.

You've got to be careful reading to much into every word. The boy isn't the sharpest.

In that clip? I don't hear it at all. He says that he's not looking to leave Sky or Matchroom right at the start.

EDIT: Just saw the video on the other thread (which wasn't there when I originally saw it). He does say he has a rolling fight by fight deal with Matchroom.

So basically, he's with them until he decides he isn't anymore. And that's the threat he's putting out there to push Eddie and Joshua into a better deal.

Without knowing the offer he was made, he did still get an offer for a title shot. Reckon he might find that tougher elsewhere. Certainly Wilder's mob aren't going to risk taking on Dillian with the low interest it would generate.

He manages himself and he's promoted by matchroom. Leaving them wouldn't do his career good because he has a good UK Sky following and he's in a very good position in the rankings.

I haven't heard him say he's leaving Matchroom. If he's chasing belts he has AJ waiting and if he's chasing money he should keep doing what he's doing with Sky and Matchroom.

Just bull**** hype he already signed for the rematch with Joshua for British and Common wealth belts
