Dillian returns to the ring after a long break
Former interim world heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) commented on his upcoming fight with German representative Christian Hammer (27-10, 17 KOs).
“I am very excited about my return and will continue to look for opportunities. I have long dreamed of returning to Ireland because I have relatives here who can also take part.”
“Christian Hammer, I know him, he’s a tough guy. He has a lot of fights. It’s a great fight, especially since I’ve been out for 16 months. A very good comeback fight.”
“I still want the world title and I want to be in the big fights. There are a lot of good fights going on now and I want to be returned to the list of the best fighters. I know I can still beat these guys.”
White tested positive for doping during a surprise test ahead of his fight with Anthony Joshua in August 2023. The investigation ultimately showed that the banned substance entered the boxer’s body accidentally through a contaminated food supplement.
However, White recently received permission to resume his professional career. The Briton was cleared of doping charges.
White fought his last fight in November 2022. Dillian defeated American Jermaine Franklin by decision.
The meeting with Hammer will take place on March 17. The fight will be the main event of the Once Upon a Time in the West boxing event, which will take place in Ireland.
