Dillian Whyte has fully demonstrated his narrow-mindedness by allowing himself an inappropriate comparison.
Dillian Whyte, a former heavyweight title challenger and former rival of Tyson Fury, has spoken about his rematch with WBA, WBO and WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk.
The British boxer apparently praised the Ukrainian for the first fight, but at the same time gave him an inappropriate description, comparing him to a Russian military man.

“It was quite a difficult fight. In the first fight, Usyk showed some things that he only showed to amateurs. We know how good a boxer he is, he is a technical genius, but after what he showed against Fury, I raised my hands and said: this person is wonderful.
I believe Fury can still win because he’s just bigger. He needs to fight like he did against Deontay Wilder in his second fight. This is the only chance.
But you never know what to expect from Tyson, you never know what he’s doing, what he’s going to do. He wakes up in the morning and doesn’t know what to do for lunch. He may have had a great training camp, but on fight night something will shift. And Usik has the psychology of a Russian military man – to fulfill his task and move forward,” said White in a commentary on talkSPORT Boxing.
The rematch between Usik and Fury will take place on December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. In May of this year, in the battle for the title of absolute champion, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by split decision.
Earlier, Usyk named the toughest opponent of his career.
