Dillian Whyte does not like to be contemplative for too long, but he is thinking about the turns his life has taken, both good and bad. Of twice being shot, thrice stabbed and yet still being alive to tell the tale.
There are others, though, without a survival story. Friends from his childhood, mates of his own children and family members have lost their lives to knife and gun crime. Most recently, the son of his close friend Dean Whyte, the drill rapper Perm, was one of two people shot dead last month in Brixton.
