Dillian Whyte's Next Move: Retirement or Revival?

Dillian Whyte's cornerman, Buddy McGirt, threw a curveball on the buzz about Whyte's possible ring exit:

"Dil's not about that curtain call life. He's not hanging up those gloves just yet. Sure, we chew the fat on the blower, but it's all gags and banter, no boxing chit-chat. We're laughing at everything except the sweet science," McGirt quipped.

Whyte last laced up in 2022, edging out Jermaine Franklin by the judges' call. He was eyeing a square-off with Anthony Joshua in August 2023 but hit a snag with a few no-nos on the doping tests. This isn't new turf for the Brit. He's danced this dance before, stumbling on tests in 2012, which earned him a two-year timeout, and again in 2019 before his tussle with Oscar Rivas, though that showdown still rolled out.
