Dillian Whyte is back in the ring this weekend, as he continues his comeback after his latest drug-test saga.
Whyte’s planned rematch with Anthony Joshua fell through in summer 2023, when the “Bodysnatcher” tested positive for a banned substance. But Whyte was eventually cleared to return to action in March, with a contaminated substance deemed to have caused his failed test.
It was a major relief for the Briton, who previously lost two years of his career to a drug-related ban from 2012 to 2014. And after being cleared this year, Whyte soon recorded a win, beating Christian Hammer in three rounds in Ireland.
Now the 36-year-old will compete in Gibraltar, as he faces Ebenezer Tetteh. The Ghanaian, also 36, has a professional record of 23-1 (20 knockouts), but he hasn’t faced opposition remotely close to the level of Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs).
