Dillian Whyte reveals whether he’ll retire after devastating loss to Moses Itauma… ‘Thank you to everyone’

Dillian Whyte has opened up about whether his time in boxing is over.

On August 16, ‘The Body Snatcher’ was annihilated by Moses Itauma inside the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It took the prospect just one round to get rid of the veteran. And while Gary O’Sullivan said Itauma hurt Whyte with an illegal shot, in the eyes of many, it was always going to be a mismatch.

Now, with the dust settled, the British-Jamaican has opened up about what the future holds.
