Dillian Whyte is pushed by opponent’s promoter in a heated confrontation

Dillian Whyte’s battle week is never dull – especially when the big man from Brixton exploits his old personality, The villain Dillian.

He did just that when things got hot with Jermaine Franklin’s coach, Jesse Addison. Addison said Whyte is a ‘wounded lion’ who has been knocked down twice and will be knocked down by ‘healthy lions’ – aka Franklin. He went on to ask Buddy McGirt, Whyte’s new coach, to speak because Whyte was ‘mumbling’.

‘The Bodysnatcher’ didn’t accept it kindly.

Dillian Whyte told Jermaine Franklin’s coach at their pre-match press conference on Saturday: “I don’t care if you’re retired, I’ll beat you up if you keep talking. “

“Fucking idiot, bozo, relax, man.”

“Dude, stop talking nonsense. You better stop talking before you get hit. I’m going to beat up an old mother, I don’t give af**k. I don’t care if you’re retired, I’ll beat you up if you keep talking.

“Shut up. Damn you.”

Things don’t end there. In a strange turn of events, Whyte did back and forth, pushing and shoving, with Dmitry Salita in the ceremonial confrontation. Salita, a former boxer, is a promoter for Franklin as well as Otto Wallin – the man who had a fight with Whyte before the British boxer withdrew due to injury.
