    What happened to this guy? Was he Harry Houdini? He fooled us all. Had drinks with him and his crew in 2019. Nice guy. But he vanished into oblivion.

    I'd take prime Skelton and Sprott to beat Whyte.

    Prime Skelton was a menace if a bit not great to watch

    I wonder if Dean Whyte has changed his surname back?

    Juiced to the gills melonheaded Whyte was a temporary problem for the division but once he was popped again and Povetkin chinned him in a garden it was game over, the canteloupe was cracked

    Old Dil aged fast because of the cumulative damage from heavyweight boxing, poor recovery and the way he prepared.

    He was known for using strong pre-workouts and was banned for two years after testing positive for methylhexaneamine, a stimulant found in Jack3d. Years of heavy stimulant use can disrupt sleep and recovery, which takes a serious toll on the body.

    Add brutal camps, huge weight fluctuations, repeated punishment and, in my opinion, PED use without the same level of medical supervision and monitoring that some of the very best fighters had around them, and it is not surprising he appears to have aged faster than his actual years.

    For me, it is the combination of punishment, stimulants, poor recovery, weight cycling and PED use that caught up with him.

    Plus he's a write off after not taking part in the build up for him vs Fury, thought he was the A side.. Crazy

    He's as bad as Jarrell Miller PED wise, beat a bunch of borderline top 10-15 guys, a lot of them controversially, and tried to win a vacant title against someone not very good, similar to AJ winning his v Charles Martin, then when he realised that it wasn't gonna happen, he had to get dragged to the ring against his will against Tyson Fury kicking and screaming, and did nothing but embarrass himself.

    Eddie Hearn did wonders fooling the gullible public into thinking that Dillian Whyte was an elite fighter. European level was his ceiling.
