Dillian Whyte criticized Francis Ngannou’s performance against Anthony Joshua attributing it to “false confidence” stemming from his bout against Tyson Fury. Whyte expected Ngannou to be defeated due to his technical flaws, lack of boxing training and failure to address mistakes from previous fights.

Whyte expressed confidence in his own ability to defeat Ngannou emphasizing his boxing skills and belief that he would have knocked out Ngannou years ago. Despite Joshua’s victory, Whyte believes there’s little to learn strategically from the bout due to the vast skill gap between the two fighters.

Whyte cleared to resume his career after a drug test controversy is set to face Christian Hammer and remains focused on pursuing world titles and challenging top opponents.
