Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte, who holds the WBC's 'interim' title, may potentially face undefeated Jermaine Franklin in a fight that would take place in the United States, according to Sky Sports.

Whyte has not fought in the United States since 2017, when he stopped Malcolm Tann.

Franklin (20-0, 13 KOs) has been out of the ring since October of 2019, when he picked up a ten round decision win over Pavel Sour.
 
Franklin isn't ready for this level imo, he is going to sleep early.

Normally I would anticipate him to get KO'd but I also feel anyone has a chance with Whyte. Guy has this weird ability to blow it off when you least expect it.
 
I see its time to feed whyte again, although this matchmaking has nearly backfired on him twice now

Hearn always mentioning PBC fighters as possible opponents, when they never fight for him … it’s Whyte vs Franklin
 
Wow, not an old guy or someone coming off a loss, that's a bit of a surprise.
That said, Franklin hasn't fought in 2 years when he went the distance with a guy who only lasted 3 rounds with Hughie Fury and 2 rounds with Gorman of all people, so I don't even give him a decent puncher's chance to upset Whyte.
 
I'd prefer they got Martin. I wouldnt mind Franklin though. Its always nice when someone who spends their first 20 fights beating up no hopers suddenly has to be the underdog vs a dangerous guy.
 
That's a better fight than Franklin. Skinny Arreola with Goosen on his corner seems to be super dangerous.
 
After nipples vs ruiz, I am thinking this will be a fun fight while it lasts. Nipples style can also give Whyte problems since he is pretty fast and whyte is more of a methodical, slow stalker throwing bombs when he can. Chris can rattle off a combo in the time whyte throws one punch.

That being said, I worry for Nipples' health.
 
Could you imagine if Chris beats Whyte.....
Whyte who was supposed to have been the boogeyman that a certain former champ avoided.....
I think this is a good fight to kind of poke holes and ruin a certain narrative around here. We shall see.
 
I think Arreola might be a live dog in this fight if he shows up motivated & in shape like he did for the Kownacki & Ruiz contests. If Arreola can drop & hurt Ruiz then he can do the same thing to Whyte.
