One of the scariest heavyweight contenders in boxing, Dillian Whyte, has once again expressed his interest to fight Deontay Wilder in a hardcore boxing battle. He seemed elevated to take on one of the toughest opponents of his life inside the ring.

In an interview with Toe2Toe Boxing podcast, Whyte said, “I would love to smash Deontay Wilder’s face in. I would love nothing more than to smash his face in… I’d be very charged up. I would go out in the first round and just start going after him… I’d love to fight him.”

According to Whyte, his team offered Wilder $7 million, but the ‘Bronze Bomber’ turned it down for a $1 million bout against Luis Ortiz.

Whyte said that he would go all out against Wilder right from the outset. He has always cited Wilder as a tough opponent whom he desperately wants to confront next in a high-profile heavyweight clash.

This fight will be true violence and won’t go till the last round for sure.
