Dillian Whyte Secures Comeback Victory by Stopping Ebenezer Tetteh

Dillian Whyte achieved his 31st professional win, marking a successful return to competition by stopping Ebenezer Tetteh in Gibraltar. The former WBC interim heavyweight champion’s barrage of punches led to the Ghanaian’s retirement at the conclusion of the seventh round. Whyte, aged 36, displayed a sharp performance in his first bout since his victory over Christian Hammer in Ireland in March. He landed a powerful right hand that visibly shook Tetteh in the fourth round. Tetteh, also 36 and from Accra, had blood streaming from his nose when he appeared for the fifth round. He was questioned about his ability to proceed before the sixth round commenced, ultimately retiring after the bell sounded for the end of the seventh round. “I’m glad Tetteh stood up, he’s tough,” said Whyte. “I needed rounds, I need to get used to pacing rounds and using my jab.” “I’ve been off for a long time and my last fight was only three rounds.” “I was angry in that last fight so I just went in there for the kill and didn’t use my boxing skills.” Last year, Whyte failed a voluntary drug test ahead of a planned rematch with Anthony Joshua. Although the British boxer stated in March that he had been “cleared” to compete, his fight on Saturday was sanctioned by the Polish Boxing Union rather than the British Boxing Board of Control. His previous win against Hammer had been sanctioned by the Boxing Union of Ireland.
