Dillian Whyte has strong opinions on Mike Tyson's boxing career after his recent bout with Jake Paul. This has sparked a lot of discussion in the boxing world.

Whyte's Stance on Tyson's Retirement Decision

Whyte's View on Tyson's Recent Bout

Dillian Whyte believes that Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul brought a significant number of new fans to boxing. He acknowledges that it was a unique matchup between a YouTuber and a boxing legend. "Obviously, we know it's a YouTuber versus an old legend in Mike Tyson, but I think it's good for boxing because if we can keep at least five million of the fans, then that's five more million new fans for hardcore boxing which is great," said Whyte.This fight also motivated Tyson to get into great shape and focus on his health. "The fight motivated him to get into great shape and get healthy which I think added 10 years to his life, that's a positive. A lot of these guys retire and they stop training, they get a lot of illnesses but obviously the fight motivated Mike to get his life back and get healthy," added Whyte.

Whyte's Stance on Tyson Fighting Again

However, Whyte firmly believes that Tyson should never fight again. "Boxing is quite addictive but I think Mike should call it a day. He doesn't need to achieve anything anymore. He doesn't need to try and prove anything to anyone. He said he was trying to prove to his kids that he is a special person. He doesn't need to prove anything. He should just retire now. He's had a good run, he got himself healthy and he should just leave it now," said Whyte.

Whyte's Upcoming Bout and Preparation

Whyte himself is gearing up for his own comeback. He will resume his career against Ebenezer Tetteh on December 15. "I'm good, I'm happy. It's good to be back in that positive light and potentially be back in the mix against the big heavyweights," said Whyte. He is well aware of the challenge ahead and is preparing both mentally and physically. "We're going against a decent guy. He's got a 23-1 record. He's only lost to Daniel Dubois so I've got to take it serious, and I've got to train and prepare myself, mentally and physically. I've been off for a while and he's had a few fights since then and look what Dubois did to Anthony Joshua. Now he's world champion, so you can't take someone like that lightly. He [Tetteh] is a big guy and he's used to winning. He knows a win against me is massive. He's going to prepare and he's going to come ready for a war," said Whyte.Sky Sports+ has officially launched and will be integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the Sky Sports app, giving Sky Sports customers access to over 50 per cent more live sport this year at no extra cost.
