Boxing 'Nobody' Whyte eyeing a last shot at redemption in Riyadh
Bristol Post
|August 13, 2025
DILLIAN Whyte knows he is about to step into the ring with the “next Mike Tyson” but still believes he can end his boxing story with a world title.
After two years in the wilderness, British heavyweight Whyte, 37, was thrown a lifeline earlier in 2025 when he was matched with the division's hottest prospect in Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) on Saturday night in Riyadh.
It is the latest hurdle in a life of ups and downs for Whyte, who was born in Jamaica and forced to “eat from trash cans” before he was brought up in Brixton. Trouble was never far away but kickboxing and then boxing helped him onto the straight and narrow.
A career in professional sport has thrown up almighty challenges with Whyte forced to clear his name from drug accusations three times - the latest in 2023 after a rematch with Anthony Joshua collapsed due to a positive drugs test, which was later found to be as a result of a contaminated supplement.
