Dillian Whyte's trainer admits he hasn't watched heavyweight fight ahead of return

Dillian Whyte's trainer has claimed he has never watched the 'Body Snatcher' fight prior to his ring return this weekend.

Whyte will return to the ring this weekend for the first time since losing in his title challenge to Tyson Fury, where he will look to return to winning ways against Jermaine Franklin at the OVO Wembley Arena. The 'Body Snatcher' will work with new head trainer Buddy McGirt, who has worked with the likes of Derek Chisora and Janibek Alimkhanuly.

The Briton has been training in the US for his recent fight, where he will have looked to plan a much improved display after his lacklustre defeat to Fury last time out. And McGirt has admitted he has not seen Whyte's opponent Franklin fight and prepares his boxing talent for all eventualities in the ring.
