Over the weekend in London, England, local ex-heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) got pissed off, snatching an unconvincing victory from American Jermaine Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs).
Rumor has it that he will hold the next fight in the spring against compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), to whom he lost ahead of schedule in 2015. Immediately after the victory, Joshua approached White. He later admitted what he said to a potential opponent after he passed Franklin.
But Dillian has his own version of this story: “I just trolld him a little. Well… Maybe not quite a bit… I told him, “Yo, dude. Relax. F**k and you’re always so tense? I just told him, ‘Yo man, you’re always so tense. I’m afraid it’s going to drive you crazy sooner or later.
After the fight, White admitted that he still does not have any promised fight with Joshua: “My wishlist is my problem. I’m resigned to not being able to control what promoter Eddie Hearn and the bosses do
streaming DAZN. That’s how they decide – that’s how it will be.”
White argues that in the event of a defeat, “you would have to end your career.” Meanwhile, Joshua said they were ready to fight Wilder, not Dillian.
