Dillian Whyte on Fellow British Heavyweight: “He’s a Snake, a Rat”

British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte has lashed out at compatriot Lawrence Okolie.

“Why did Lawrence Okolie go to help Jake Paul prepare for a fight with Joshua, when it was Anthony who brought Okolie onto the stage and made a name for him?

It’s madness; there is absolutely no loyalty in this environment. I don’t like Okolie; he’s a snake, he’s a rat. There’s no loyalty in this game. I want people to see him for who he really is — he’s a rat,” Whyte said.

Lawrence Okolie (23-1, 17 KOs) joined Jake Paul’s training camp after the influencer's opponent was changed from Gervonta Davis to Anthony Joshua. The fight, which took place in December 2025, ultimately saw Paul lose by knockout, suffering a jaw fractured in two places.
