Is Dillian Whyte Being a Hypocrite in His ‘Illegal’ Claim?

Dillian Whyte addressed a big issue following his defeat on Saturday night. The challenger claimed that Tyson Fury used illegal techniques, which eventually resulted in a technical knockout.

‘The Body Snatcher‘ elaborated on it in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports.

He said, “When the uppercut landed I was buzzed, but obviously [when I] was trying to regather my sense, he proper full-on pushed me. I fell over and hit my head on the canvas, which is illegal. This ain’t wrestling, this is boxing. As usual, they let [Tyson] Fury do what he wants and get away with it. I should’ve been allowed extra time to recover and then carry on fighting.”
