Dillian Whyte vs. Ebenezer Tetteh official for December 15 on DAZN
By David Greisman

Former heavyweight title challenger Dillian Whyte will wrap up 2024 with his second fight of the year, taking on Ebenezer Tetteh on December 15 on DAZN. The fight was announced during Saturday’s DAZN broadcast headlined by Chris Billam-Smith vs. Gilberto Ramirez.

Whyte vs. Tetteh will take place in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of Spain.

Whyte last fought in March, when he stopped Christian Hammer after three rounds. That victory brought the 36-year-old Londoner to 30-3 (20 KOs).

Whyte’s first defeat came in 2015, when he lost via seventh-round technical knockout to Anthony Joshua. He then scored 11 straight victories, including good wins over the likes of Robert Helenius in 2017, Joseph Parker in 2018 and Oscar Rivas in 2019. That winning streak came to an end in August 2020 after a highlight-reel knockout at the hands of Alexander Povetkin.

Whyte defeated Povetkin in their immediate rematch, however, putting him away in four rounds in March 2021. The victory landed Whyte a shot at Tyson Fury in April 2022 for the WBC heavyweight title. Alas, Fury finished Whyte in six rounds. Whyte returned in November 2022 with a majority decision over Jermaine Franklin Jnr and then spent nearly 16 months away before taking on Hammer.

Tetteh, a 36-year-old from Accra, Ghana, is 23-1 (20 KOs). He started his career as a light heavyweight and then moved up on the scales, competing briefly at cruiserweight before moving up to heavyweight.

Tetteh lost in his sole step up, when he faced Daniel Dubois in September 2019 and was dispatched in 130 seconds. Tetteh has won four in a row since then, most recently taking a fifth-round TKO in April over the 5-1 Ayaovi Agbonson.

McCall battered Frazier to the deck with a series of right hands. Is Jake Paul next?

With the win, McCall broke the four-day-old record of Mike Tyson as the oldest former heavyweight champion to fight in a sanctioned bout.

Oleksandr Zakhozhyi (19-0 15KOs) defends his EBU heavyweight title against Labinot Xhoxhaj (19-0-1 16KOs) in Germany on Saturday 23, November 2024

Both have great records, and fighting for the EBU, but neither are in the top 15 alphabets. Must be padded records, and the winner probably gets ranked.

I don't think Big Baby has much stamina either. I'm picking Chisora in an upset.
