Dillian Whyte - Where does he go from here?

[Controversial]

I can't say I've seen much about his latest testing failure, not sure what he failed on either but I can't see how he doesn't get a lengthy ban being the third time it's happened. He's 35 so time is not on his side, so is his career effectively over or do you think we will see him back?

[dookus]

Fight overseas or retire, I reckon

[joshj909]

I can see him trying to find alternative ways to fight whether it's overseas during a ban or crushing cans when his ban is over. I can't see him being too interested in much other than boxing for a lot longer than he should rightly be boxing for.

[mickey1975]

Probably chilling with his millions.

[Coco]

Should have enough money to retire, hasn't got the money or time to do a Conor Benn.
No PPV fights will be on the horizon

He will have earned much more than CB surely?

I imagine he will box in Saudi then retire.

Way, way more. Millions for Fury alone.

[Twinkle Toes]

Regardless of the drug situation, he's surely done. He was looking decidely ropey as far back as Wach. He's done very well and made many millions for being fringe world class.

Fair comment but he def doesn't have the time

[Ruthless-RKO]

He can go home.

His careers done.

I reckon he’ll still have a couple fights.

[quickeyg]

He'll probably fight Joshua




Always expect that plot twist

[gregregegg]

Unless Whyte gets definitively cleared soon it will be very hard for him To come back and win.

[big lennox]

He'll probably fight Joshua




Always expect that plot twist

AJ vs Whyte 2 as an undercard to Fury vs Chisora IV?

[The Gratest]

Tiny Dev Sarnie v Hasbulla

[Monzon83]

He loves a bit of dianabol, maybe he can take up bodybuilding?

Interesting article by Thomas Hauser.

As of this writing, the drug that Whyte tested positive for hasn’t been publicly identified. At the press conference for Joshua-Helenius, Hearn was asked by Charlie Parsons of Boxing Social about a previous report on social media that it was Molidustat. Hearn seemed to indicate a familiarity with the drug, referencing Parsons’ pronunciation of Molidustat (“you said that really well”) before adding, “As you know, I’ve been put on notice by Dillian Whyte’s lawyers. I cannot talk about the results of that test, only the information that we have published already.”

For the record, Molidustat is an experimental drug still in trials that can be taken in pill form and increases the endogenous production of erythropoietin (EPO). It’s on the World Anti-Doping Agency list of prohibited drugs for use both in and out of competition.

The number of positive test results for Whyte also hasn’t been announced. It’s possible that there have been multiple positive findings.

The British Boxing Board of Control licenses fighters who don’t live in the United Kingdom on a fight by fight basis. Whyte is now believed to be a resident of Portugal, so he’s not licensed by the BBBofC. He had applied for a license to fight Joshua but the license hadn’t been granted at the time his positive test results were reported. So Dillian’s lawyers are likely to argue that the BBBofC has no jurisdiction over him. Eddie Hearn said as much on August 9 when he told IFL TV, “Dillian Whyte is not licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control. So, what happens now? He has to clear his name, but at the same time he can’t be effectively banned or have his license suspended or removed from the British Boxing Board of Control because he’s not licensed there. So effectively, Dillian Whyte right now can go to another commission and ask for a license or ask for permission to box.”

Oddly, Whyte might hold a license in Texas (where he has never fought). A spokesperson for the Texas Combative Sport Program (TCSP) told Boxing News on August 9 that Dillian is not currently licensed in Texas. But the same spokesperson acknowledged that the TCSP received notification of a positive test result for Whyte on August 9. And a source in the UK says that the BBBofC was notified in writing by Greg Alvarez (manager of the Texas Combative Sports Program) on July 27 that “Mr. Whyte is licensed in Texas thru December 20, 2025.”

Does this mean Whyte’s attorneys will argue that the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is the only entity in the world with jurisdiction to sanction him? They might.

But there are other avenues that could be pursued here. Whyte is licensed as a manager by the BBBofC. This means the BBBofC can conduct an inquiry into the “adverse analytical findings” and, if warranted, take some form of action against him. Also, UKAD is believed to be taking the position that its rules allow it to investigate and take action against a fighter whose license has expired or been relinquished within the preceding year. That category would include Whyte.

There’s a depressingly familiar storyline in boxing. It plays out again and again. A fighter tests positive. He takes steps and threatens legal action that will cost the BBBofC, UKAD, the World Boxing Council, whoever, hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend against. So the organisation finds a loophole and issues a ruling that allows the fighter to continue fighting without further sanction. Or a governing athletic commission is anxious for a big fight to take place within its jurisdiction and makes an unseemly accommodation.

Meanwhile, the fighter and his camp use “confidentiality” as a sword and a shield. They claim that the fighter has been fully vindicated and proven innocent of any wrongdoing while the facts underlying the case and various rulings are hidden from public view. The fighter, of course, could waive his claim of confidentiality and authorise that the details surrounding his testing be made public. I repeat: The fighter could waive his claim of confidentiality and authorise that the details surrounding his testing be made public. But he rarely if ever does. And because the threat of legal action has worked before, it’s used again and again.

Anyone heard anything about Whyte?

[margaret thatcher]

maybe dill, big tyson, and connor can shoot each other's arses up with peds

[a force]

Anyone heard anything about Whyte?

No, it’s all very quiet. There’s no defence really if he has tested positive for the drug mentioned. It can’t get in your system by accident. He’s probably done

Serial drug cheat. Whyte probably deserves to be done.

[Glass Joe]

Talk about dragging it out. How long does it take for an investigation, verdict etc. I know legal stuff takes a long time. Jeez.
I dont really expect Whyte to fight pro again TBH.

[funso banjo baby]

Is it down to the lake, I fear?

Interview two weeks ago with Dean Whyte, he was asked about Dillian right at the end of the chat but doesn't give anything away, just says he can't say a lot about it, Dillian is good and he's sure something will be said at some point.

[tony1234]

Another one who could've boxed on the Saudi show if he wanted or was able to to for one reason or another, a fight with Joe Joyce on that show would've done a decent job for the winners career
