Dillian Whyte Defends Mark Breland: ‘Maybe Deontay Wilder Had Done Some Bulls*** to Him’

Published 01/30/2021, 12:30 PM EST

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder parted ways with his long-time trainer Mark Breland after losing his title and his unbeaten record to Tyson Fury on February 2020.

Wilder accused his trainer of spiking his water and billed it as one of the reasons behind his defeat. However, Wilder’s prime foe Dillian Whyte backed Breland, pointing at some factors to ridicule ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

Both Wilder and Whyte are coming off from their title losses in their last fights; therefore, an in-ring collision between them seems almost inevitable.

While both have verbally agreed to the challenge, Dillian Whyte recently bashed Deontay Wilder for pushing Mark Breland out of his team.

In an interaction at the AK& Barak show, ‘The Body Snatcher’ said, “That’s crazy. Why would Mark Breland spend his whole career training and being there for him through probably ups and downs and probably travelling from where we live to where you go to, to train Deontay Wilder, putting so much time and effort.”

He further blamed Wilder for the tussle with Breland. While Whyte raved on in support of Mark Breland, he continued to lash out at Wilder. It clearly intensified their possible fight. However, these comments might not sit well with Wilder.

Whyte added, “Mark Breland is no young cat. He is an old guy, you know. I mean, be taking those power punches on the pads and sacrifice, why would he a lot and all of a sudden team up with Fury?

“Actually, we don’t know maybe Deontay Wilder had done some bulls*** to him and he (Mark Breland) is like, could be a possibility.”

Deontay Wilder vs Dillian Whyte- Is it the fight to make?

The heavyweight clash between these prime punchers makes the most sense in the heavyweight environment right now. However, Whyte will be looking to butt heads with Alexander Povetkin for his lost WBC Interim crown in an epic rematch before he knocks on the Bronze Bomber’s door.

Meanwhile. Wilder’s former foe Tyson Fury is well on his way unify his WBC belt by fighting Anthony Joshua next. So, it leaves Wilder with no relevant opponents.
