The report states Whyte had a chance to compete in a similar title eliminator however, he opted for another bout thus hampering his chances at the Joshua rematch. He chose to fight Dereck Chisora in 2018 instead of Luis Ortiz. The report also says he turned down the Pulev fight which could have seen him earn a shot at Joshua.
It seems as though Whyte only has himself to blame as ‘AJ’ is fighting the ones who earn a title shot against him. He isn’t running away from ‘The Villain’ and choosing opponents for convenience’s sake.
