British heavyweight elite Dillian Whyte has often changed his trainers in the professional run, and under different circumstances, he has joined hands with different veterans. Hailing from the UK, Whyte has his primary team and gym based in his hometown.

However, the former WBC Interim champion roams around the globe to keep to his fighting schedule as his training camps continue to put him at different locations. Meanwhile, Whyte is gearing up for the bigger names in his current boxing ride.

That said, Sky Sports reported that he is training in Portugal for the time and has added Harold ‘The Shadow’ Knight-a former co-trainer of Lennox Lewis to his camp. Meanwhile, Xavier Miller is also present and it can be extremely fruitful for ‘The Body Snatcher’.
