Dillian Whyte: I’ve been answered all my life; The fight of Moses Ituma is not different

Published

on

Dillian Whyte was long enough to see how many adolescent ponderous weight comes and goes; Another great thing that disappears before he took the noise.

But on August 16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia against Moses Itaum, Whyte (31-3, 21 KO), he will face a warrior almost unanimously considered the next face of the division.

This is a classic potential change in the fight for the guard.

Ituma (12-0, 10 KO) takes a step up against veteran whene, who was almost every best warrior of the last 10 years, approaching, but never wins the title of the world. Boxer Brixton claims that he has not finished yet and there is no problem in the fight as weaker.

“We saw it again and again when all these guys built, reject everyone, are pretenders, prospects,” said Whyte before the fight.

“Sometimes these guys are hurried, and sometimes they blow up beyond the proportion, and then everything goes wrong. It’s boxing in ponderous weight … It’s unpredictable. I believe in myself. Listen, I am reproduced, but it’s not modern. Even when he beats these guys as competitor No. 1, I am still wrote back.

“Not only in boxing, all my life, which have been written off. Of course, my origin, where I come from, I do not have amateur pedigree. I have never had a great promoter. I did something on my own skin.”

Although he may not have the title of the world in his name, whye is in many respects the winner, regardless of how the rest of his career develops.

He was born “in the middle of a hurricane” in Jamaica, who spread the roof of his mother’s house before he moved to South London as a child. Whyte speaks as a boy, he sold glass bottles and fruits, trying to earn money. He finally turned to the box, which “saved [his] life.”

– from the “tank” to Canelo, seven boxers who would benefit from promotion on weight
– like the ponderous boxing of Moses Ituma hardly did not happen
– True or not boxing: Joshua vs. Paul? Can Pacquiao win the title?

With everything he did and passed, you can forgive him that he will go to sunset.

But this itching is still there.

Victory over Ituma would make him compete with larger names for the last time before he finally disconnects the gloves.

The Whyte career has been detained since he did not pass the drug test before the planned rematch against Anthony Joshua in 2023 was cleaned after finding, the result was caused by a contaminated supplement.

The fight against Joe Joyce in April also fell after he suffered a hand injury during training.

Now the older and smarter, the 37-year-old is reflective before the next battle.

“The last three years were frustrating. I had a handful of fighting here and there, I was in the desert, but this is life,” says Whyte.

“When I get older, you realize that life has been increased and falling. We are not adolescent here. We just break and thinking that you have all the time in the world, you just live and taking things for granted, do you know what I mean?

“But when you get vintage, things happen and things teach you that you can’t take anything obvious.”

Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing

Published

"Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing"

Janibek Alimkhanuly spent months trying to get Hamzah Sheeraz into the ring. Now that Sheeraz has vacated his WBO super middleweight title, Janibek is asking fans to stop saying the former champion ran from him. That is generous. It also leaves Janibek with less to say about a fight he wanted badly.

Janibek’s tone has changed since the purse bid. He was eager to fight, said money was not his priority, and publicly pushed Sheeraz to accept. Queensberry then bid $1,001,809 to stage the ordered defense, beating Top Rank’s $820,000 offer. Sheeraz’s 75 percent share would have been roughly $751,000. Days later, he gave up the belt.

That sequence deserves a closer look. Queensberry put a serious number on the fight, so the bid itself cannot be dismissed as proof that nobody valued it. But winning the right to promote a title defense means little to fans when the champion vacates before it happens.

Sheeraz has objected to Janibek receiving a mandatory shot after his failed drug test. He is entitled to explain that position. Fans are equally entitled to ask why the issue reached a purse bid before he surrendered the title. Janibek’s post supplies no answer.

Perhaps Janibek sees no benefit in branding Sheeraz a coward. Doing so would also make the opponent he chased sound less valuable. Calling Sheeraz a great fighter preserves the idea that this was an important contest, even after the belt and the fight slipped away.

The respect between them may be sincere. Janibek still gets no Sheeraz fight, and Sheeraz no longer has to defend his title against Janibek. A friendly photo does not change either result.
