Dillian Whyte Talks Jermaine Franklin Fight, New Trainer And Anthony Joshua Rematch
Dillian Whyte Quotes From Wednesday\’s Media Workout
On teaming up with new trainer Buddy McGirt:
\”He\’s doesn\’t say a lot. He just gets on to you about the same things over and over again. It\’s a bit of a ball-ache sometimes but it\’s good – you know what I mean? I\’ve never really had a teacher. I\’ve had good coaches – very good coaches – but there\’s a difference between a coach and a teacher. Buddy is a coach and a trainer but he\’s a teacher too. He teaches you little things.
\”What he does is good and it\’s really interesting. Because I\’m a fighter where I\’m strong and fit, physical and I look to be rough – I can punch. A lot of coaches just work on that. But Buddy does thing differently. He says you don\’t need to chop the house down with one punch all of the time.\”
On his approach to the Jermaine Franklin fight:
\”I\’ll approach this fight the same god damn way I approach every fight. You know me, I approach all of my fights with only one thing in mind, and that\’s to try and end it.\”
On a potential Anthony Joshua rematch:
\”I don\’t care about the Anthony Joshua fight now. I\’m focused on Franklin. There\’s been pressure in all of my fights. I weren\’t even an ABA Champion. People forget I had seven amateur fights. I was out there selling tickets hours before I was due to fight. I\’m not an Olympian and I was never on Team GB. Every fight for me has always been must-win my whole career. It\’s just another I\’ve got to deal with. I\’ve become quite used to that. There\’s pressure but okay great. I\’ve gone and beat guys that I shouldn\’t have beat.\”
On becoming Heavyweight World Champion:
\”I definitely want to become Heavyweight Champion of the World and I\’d love to get the opportunity to avenge my two losses. I\’ve already avenged one, I\’d love to get the opportunity to avenge the other two.\”
