Dillian Whyte described the agony of a fractured foot sustained in training last summer, saying it felt like 'someone had dropped a dumbbell on my foot.' He fought Moses Itauma in Saudi Arabia last August despite re-injuring the foot in the dressing room just hours before the bout. Whyte admitted he concealed the injury, strapping it heavily, but his lack of mobility was exposed as Itauma won in the opening round. He chose not to speak about the injury to avoid taking away from Itauma's victory, stating, 'I got clocked and he won the fight.' Whyte reflected on his career, noting he has fought through serious injuries before, including a damaged shoulder in his bout against Anthony Joshua.

He expressed love for boxing and willingness to fight anyone, adding that British heavyweights like himself are a rare generation nearing the end of their careers. Johnny Fisher has called for a return fight with Whyte, saying it would be an honour and a good chance. Whyte believes people would judge his loss differently if they knew the full facts about his injury.
