Dillian Whyte is taking his recent loss like an absolute champ, and his recent post shows nothing but a champion’s mentality.

Whyte ran into and overcame a number of hurdles in a journey that lasted for over 1000 days. He was the number one contender for the WBC heavyweight title and waited for his turn for quite some time.

In this time he was required to prove himself time after time, and he did so. With just one fight between him and his long-desired shot at the WBC world heavyweight title, he was almost there. The only thing that stood in his way was a fight against Alexander Povetkin.

Whyte walked into this fight as a favorite. He was expected to breeze through this fight. Povetkin was the underdog. And according to the odds, he barely stood a chance. Unfortunately, Whyte’s fairy tale run ended.

The ‘Body Snatcher’ could not secure the victory against Alexander Povetkin. Whyte had his lights knocked out in the fifth round when Povetkin landed a mean uppercut. The underdog once again shone through, and Whyte’s career took a hit.

All those efforts, those long drawn brutal fights, and that 1000 day wait amounted to nothing. A situation like this would break anyone, even the most driven and inspired individual, but not Dillian Whyte!

Resilience and never say die attitude are two terms this man personifies. Dillian Whyte is a true beast!
