Dillian Whyte has stated that he gets stressed whenever Deontay Wilder’s name is mentioned, referencing the time when the man from Tuscaloosa kept ducking his (Whyte’s) challenge, and also went on to accept fighting Luis Ortiz for a much lesser prize money. Whyte expressed his desire to fight “the Bronze Bomber” and smash his face, in a recent interview with Sky Sports.

Dillian Whyte suffered a shock loss in his hometown against Alexander Povetkin, earlier this year. The Brit immediately triggered his rematch clause following the loss, but Alexander Povetkin fell sick since he contracted COVID-19, and hence the rematch scheduled on the 21st of November was postponed indefinitely. Given that the Russian is still sick due to the long term effects of the disease, it looks like the boxing world will have to wait longer before they can see the rematch.

It’s one of those fights where I would be very charged up” – Dillian Whyte

Speaking about Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte was quoted as saying, “I would love to smash Deontay Wilder’s face in. It’s one of those fights where I would be very charged up. I would go out in the first round and just get going after him. It is frustrating, but it’s still a big name. He’s one of the top guys and I would love to fight him. He has to be serious. We offered him six, seven million dollars once and he turned it down when he was making one million dollars to fight Luis Ortiz. How serious is he?”

Clearly irritated with the way things have panned out for him, against Deontay Wilder, Whyte said, “When people mention Deontay Wilder’s name to me, I just get stressed. It’s crazy, because once again someone else wants to fight me. Deontay Wilder, I tried to fight him when he was champion. No. Now they’ve all lost, they want to fight me after.

Who do you think Whyte should fight next? Should he wait for Alexander Povetkin? Or go ahead and fight Deontay Wilder in the meantime?
