Journeyman Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) scored a seventh-round stoppage of an out-of-shape wanting Ebenezer Tetteh (23-2, 20 KOs) on Sunday night time on the Europa Level Sports activities Advanced in Gibraltar. The referee halted the combat after the seventh spherical as a result of 36-year-old Tetteh had been severely punished.
Dillian sported a sizeable intestine and regarded like he’d been coaching at a hamburger stand. He didn’t look good, laboring to cease a fighter that Daniel Dubois destroyed in a single spherical in 2019. Tonight’s combat confirmed that Whyte is a shell of the fighter he’d as soon as been. There aren’t any phrases to explain how dangerous Whyte regarded. He was so terrible to take a look at.
After the combat, Whyte tried to clarify away why it took him seven rounds to cease Tetteh, saying that he wished to “get some rounds in.” It didn’t appear to be that. Dillian was attempting to knockout Tetteh, and he didn’t have the explosiveness that he as soon as did 5 to 10 years in the past.
The painfully gradual and wild Tetteh took the combat to Whyte within the first, backing up in opposition to the ropes and touchdown some good photographs. For a second there, it regarded just like the flabby-looking 261-lb Whyte was in hassle, however he dodged sufficient of Tetteh’s photographs to flee with out taking place.
After the primary spherical, Tetteh was exhausted and fought in short spurts for the rest of the competition. Within the fourth, Whyte bloodied Tetteh’s nostril, which wakened Ghana. He went on the assault and had an honest spherical. That was the final hurrah for Tetteh, and he hardly ever threw any punches after the fourth.

Within the seventh, Whyte unloaded with a storm of photographs, attempting to knock however failing. He fell on the canvas after throwing a wild proper hand.
Whyte used a number of rabbit punches, low blows, and forearms to tough up Tetteh all through the competition, however the referee selected to not penalize him. It’s fairly ugly at instances with the fouling, given this was such a mismatch, and there was no actual want for these techniques.
“I wanted the rounds. I’ve been out for a very long time. I used to be offended and wished to kill. Anybody that’s coming from a third-world nation is attempting to alter their life. He gave me the rounds I wanted. I’m blissful,” stated Dillian Whyte after his win over journeyman Ebenezer Tetteh.
“Everyone seems to be combating everybody. Turki is doing an incredible job of creating the blokes combat one another. I need to combat in March. Inactivity has killed my profession. I’d like to be in a Riyadh season card. Folks pay their hard-earned cash to return out and see me.
It’s onerous to think about Turki Alalshikh together with Whyte on any of his Riyadh Season playing cards as a result of he appears very, very previous and gradual at 36. It wouldn’t be good to incorporate him. There are a number of gifted youthful heavyweights who should be on the Riyadh Season playing cards greater than Whyte. Turki could be doing us all a favor by NOT together with Dillian on his Riyadh playing cards. It’s dangerous sufficient he’s obtained the washed-up-looking Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua combating on his playing cards. These guys don’t have anything left.
Whyte had been encouraging Tyson Fury to tough up Oleksandr Usyk for his or her rematch this Saturday. That may clarify why he was fouling Tetteh so regularly tonight, however why on the planet would he have to? This was a man that Dillian Whyte have been in a position to destroy with none issues if he had a shred of expertise left in him, however clearly, he doesn’t have it anymore. He’s shot.
