“I wasn’t in no state to be fighting mentally”- Dillian Whyte

“I had a bit of an unfortunate situation last year so I was a bit depressed and down mentally,. And, I wasn’t in no state to be fighting mentally and physically back then. There was crazy stuff going on that everyone knew about. It was a big mistake in the end and I got my name cleared. I wasn’t even training.

“I took the fight Dillian Whyte vs Mariusz Wach – AJ bill on three weeks’ notice. So I just went in there. I knew I was fighting Maris Wach and I knew he was in shape. He had the fight a month before me or whatever but I was like, I don’t need to be 100 percent to beat these guys’. I have just got to dip my head in because I am a fighter by nature. That’s the first thing, I want to fight. I bring maximum violence, regardless”. Said Dillian on ‘The Ak and Barak Show”
