A few weeks back, Dillian Whyte took the boxing fraternity by storm by finishing his adversary Alexander Povetkin in the rematch. This was one of the most clinical performances by the Brit, wherein he accrued the attention of one and all. Whyte impressed everyone with his exemplary performance that night. However, the fellow Brit and heavyweight sensation, Derek Chisora, didn’t really find Whyte’s performance that amazing. In a conversation with iFL TV, he said, “I prefer the first fight. Dillian was boxing amazing in the first fight. The second fight was just too ragged for me and not great for me and all Dillian wanted to do. He didn’t even box great. He was just chucking bombs, just trying to get him out but well done to him.” In the first contest between Dillian Whyte [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dillian-whyte/] and Alexander Povetkin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-povetkin/], the former kept composure and landed some staggering hits on the Russian. He even dropped Povetkin twice in that fight, yet he fell prey to the veteran’s vicious left shot in round 5 [https://boxrec.com/en/event/810690/2502537]. Right after succumbing to that loss, the only fight ‘The Body Snatcher’ asked for was a rematch with the ‘Russian Vityaz’. And as he got this opportunity, Whyte made the most out of it and secured a sensational win. The 33-year-old has a longtime dream of fighting for the heavyweight world title. And with this fight, he just went a step closer towards the same.

With a win over Povetkin, Whyte unquestionably made a sublime statement in the heavyweight roster. He defied the odds and shut all of his naysayers who doubted him in this rematch. Moreover, with this win, ‘The Body Snatcher’ made himself viable for a world title shot as the WBC interim heavyweight champion. But the heavyweight world title picture is sealed for now, as Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will confront each other for all the titles. That said, Dillian Whyte will have to wait for a while to get his hands on the belts. Additionally, he might have to box someone else in the line to clear his way for the ultimate fight of his career. What did you make of ‘The Body Snatcher’s performance against Povetkin? Do you see him boxing again before receiving a title fight?

(Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Early Life and History</h2>
Prior to getting into professional boxing, Whyte had a <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://whytepovetkinfights.com/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tough</a> upbringing. Combat sports were his escape from these evils.

His first taste of combat sports was <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://peoplepill.com/people/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kickboxing</a>. The Englishman had so much success in the sport that he was a two-time British heavyweight champion by winning the BIKMA title. He also won the European K1 title.

Whyte then made the switch to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/who-is-dillian-whyte-boxer-record-biography-where-from-history-background/isfe4qsfdoty1hkuhvr6n9ky1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a>, where he fought at the Ultimate Challenge MMA. However, Whyte only ever made one appearance in the cage; eventually moving to boxing at 20.

In his first-ever amateur fight, Whyte took on the current heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua, and beat the Englishman. However, his <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Dillian_Whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amateur career</a> was cut short and Whyte turned professional in 2011.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Professional career highlights</h2>
Whyte made his professional debut in 2011 against Tayar Mehmed and won on points. The 'Body Snatcher' has not looked back since and has slowly become one of the best heavyweights in the world.

He even held multiple regional titles, like the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/20/dilian-whyte-interim-wbc-heavyweight-title-oscar-rivas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WBC Interim</a> and the British Heavyweight <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/1935139/dillian-whyte-wins-the-british-heavyweight-title-after-beating-ian-lewison-in-10-round-battle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">title</a>. However, he is still chasing the elusive world title.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Boxing career highlights</h2>
Whyte has been involved in several high-profile battles over the years. He has fought the likes of Dereck Chisora twice, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas, and Lucas Browne, and come out victorious in each of these fights. His only two defeats have come against <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2598441-anthony-joshua-vs-dillian-whyte-winner-recap-and-reaction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Joshua</a> and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/749570/dillian-whyte-vs-alexander-povetkin-result-knockout-ko/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander Povetkin</a>.

2021 was a crucial year for the Englishman, where he had the opportunity to avenge his defeat to Alexander Povetkin. He did just that. Whyte defeated Povetkin via TKO in the fourth round and once again became the WBC interim heavyweight champion.

Now, Dillian Whyte will clash in a title unification bout to unify his interim title against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyson-fury/">Tyson Fury</a>, the current WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion. Fury vs. Whyte will take place at the Wembley Stadium in London, England, on April 23, 2022.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Personal Life</h2>
Whyte was born to his parents in Jamaica on April 11, 1988. His mother, on the other hand, abandoned him and relocated to England. Whyte was left with his father until he was 12 years old, according to <a href="https://britishboxingnews.co.uk/blogs/10-things-you-didn-t-know-about-dillian-whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Boxing News</a>. He did, however, fly to England when he was 13 to see his mother.

Dillian Whyte had no formal education at the time. He fell into criminality and street turmoil as a result of his lack of education. Whyte is reportedly said to have been stabbed multiple times in road battles throughout his adolescence. He also had an older sibling who died while he was a child.

From that point on, his life followed a different path. When Whyte was in his late teens, he was arrested, and his mother went to see him, only to cry and say she didn't want to lose another child. When Whyte was set free, he never went back to his dark days and became a serious boxer.

Besides the above-mentioned, the only thing known to the world about his family is that he is a married man and a father of three (two sons and one daughter). 
<h3 style="text-align: center">Dillian Whyte: Foundation and Charity</h3>
‘The Body Snatcher’ is no stranger to doing his bit to give back to charity. In 2019, the charismatic heavyweight put aside his fiery demeanor and took an open training <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/10081660/dillian-whyte-boxing-training-fight-gym/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">session</a> for aspiring professionals in a Brixton boxing gym. The session went on for four hours.

Earlier in 2020, the heavyweight participated in the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2020/04/29/dillian-whyte-tony-bellew-fifa-cup-nhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHS Charities together cup</a>. The event was a FIFA tournament filled with celebrities, aimed at raising funds for the NHS during the pandemic. Thus, Whyte has clearly shown his desire to give back to the people.
<h3 style="text-align: center">Dillian Whyte: Endorsements 2022</h3>
The heavyweight contender is backed by famous gloves company <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/Flysportsuk/posts/1505230506298863:0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fly</a> for all his fights.

He is also backed by clothing line, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://uk.boxraw.com/pages/dillian-whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BoxRaw</a>.
