WBC Interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte is one of the finest boxers to have ever laced up the gloves. However, a crossover to soccer would have really been a bad idea for ‘The Body Snatcher’. Still fresh from his stoppage win over Alexander Povetkin, Whyte is now enjoying a lay-off from action, without an official opponent on board.

That said, he appears to have his eye on the ongoing EURO 2020 tournament. Ahead of the tournament’s quarter-finals, Whyte deliberately showed love for his country England and displayed his soccer abilities.
