Dillian Whyte has made his stance clear on the rumors that Moses Itauma supposedly got dropped in sparring.
On Saturday night, the heavyweight stars will battle it out inside the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
‘The Body Snatcher’ is entering the fight with far more experience. Whyte has dropped Joseph Parker, finished Lucas Browne, and claimed the bragging rights over Derek Chisora.
Despite this, most consider Itauma a huge favorite. However, some aren’t as confident that the match-up is a foregone conclusion, after hearing that the 20-year-old may have hit the canvas during training.

Dillian Whyte doesn’t care if Moses Itauma was dropped in sparring
Dillian Whyte isn’t remotely bothered if Moses Itauma was dropped in sparring or not.
The British-Jamaican says it has no bearing on their upcoming clash, regardless.
In an interview with Seconds Out, he said: “I don’t know and I don’t care.
“I’m not focusing on him, I’m focusing on myself and being the best version I can be.
“Listen, I’m a grown a– man, I’m not a child to run around — gym stories are gym stories. Marvin Hagler used to get dropped a lot in the gym, never got dropped in the ring.
“Sparring stories are sparring stories. Sometimes, you’ve got four guys in camp, you’re doing two rounds in, two rounds out, you’re losing weight, you’re doing this, you’re doing that, so f— it, we’re going to have a fight.
“I don’t give a d— about all that stuff.”
