Dillian “Body Thief” Whytewho was defeated in a one-way match against the WBC champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury last saturday in uk, I’m crying now, blame Fury for using dirty tactics and also hit the umpire for allowing Fury to push him to the mat and punch him during the competition.
Whyte considers the showdown with Fury to be a very even, reciprocal one, with him giving the best he can throughout the fight. However, most boxing fans and analysts seemed to see this as a one-way contest as Fury finished with a sixth-round header that the WBC champion’s team later admitted was taking. inspired by the now retired Russian veteran. By Alexander Povetkin knockout of the year, blasting Whyte’s chin in 2020.
Whyte mocks and mocks the former WBC champion Deontay Wilder as he made a series of ever more outlandish claims against Fury after being dealt with and stopped in the second of three fights against The Gypsy King. But now, Whyte himself is choosing to follow the same path as Wilder, issuing a barrage of complaints and demands for a rematch, despite also realizing he will need to beat a strong contender. another head before that happens, if the WBC champion doesn’t decide. to stick to your retirement plan.
Whyte may be trying to stay relevant in the weight class by calling Fury a dirty boxer, and there’s some historical truth to that claim. For example, earlier in his career, Fury delivered a series of rabbit punches to the head of the Canadian heavyweight champion. Neven Pajkic after Pajkic took him down and did the same to the Americans Steve Cunninghama former cruiser class champion who also put Fury on the frame in Brit’s debut match at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
But whether Fury used dirty tactics to defeat Whyte is another question entirely. Truth be told, since his victory over the top candidate Joseph Parker of New Zealand in 2018, Dillian Whyte’s career is on the decline. Since that fight, Whyte has been embroiled in controversy and often looks less than impressive in the ring:
Whyte vs Oscar Rivas (2019): Whyte was knocked down and left Rivas with UD under a cloud of suspicion: the steroid dianabol was found in his blood and an accusation was made about Whyte using illegal gloves that were substituted for gloves. agreed hand just before the battle. Rivas .’s Coach Russ Anber was very angry and filed a complaint with the British Boxing Control Board
Whyte vs Mariusz Wach (2019): Whyte decided to live with the giant Polish adventurer Wach, fighting a battle that made him look like the loser in the match. The unanimous decision score for Whyte doesn’t seem to accurately reflect what’s really going on in the ring. At times, Whyte is literally in a state of disarray.
Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin 1 (2020): Whyte was completely destroyed by the KO of the year from aging Povetkin. The Body Snatcher was knocked to the ground by a superb uppercut from the Russian veteran.
Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin 2 (2021): Povetkin had just been brought in from a hospital in Russia and was still suffering from persistent tubal occlusion symptoms. He was stopped by Whyte in a rematch that shouldn’t have taken place at the time.
Whyte vs Otto Wallin (2021, canceled): Whyte pulls out of the fight with just 10 days left, in an extremely poor move. He and promoter Eddie Hearn did not provide any evidence of “injured shoulder” and Hearn outright scoffed and denied it. Wallin, who gave Tyson Fury the right fit in their 2019 fight, is understandable. Whyte then disappeared to await a title hit against Tyson Fury.
Whyte vs Tyson Fury (2022): Whyte seemed off balance and struggled to make an impact. Fury sent him out with an upper cut that he later admitted was modeled on the same punch Povetkin performed “The Body Snatcher”. Helluva’s punch, but still not as powerful as Povetkin’s masterpiece, which is one of the greatest single-punch KOs in boxing history.
So the question arises: did Dillian Whyte prevent the achievement of heavyweight glory with the “dirty tactics” employed by Tyson Fury, triggered by an unfair referee?
Or Dillian Whyte has gone downhill over the past few years, and sold to the public through the hype of activists like David Haye, Dereck Chisoraand to some extent Tyson Fury himself, everyone who has tried to raise the profile of a man they know has little or no chance of dethroning the heavyweight title?
Without a doubt, Whyte will now try to convince the boxing public that it is the former answer, but a closer look at Whyte’s recent record suggests it is the latter.
