Dillian Whyte says he lost all respect for Deontay Wilder following his treatment of trainer Mark Breland after defeat to Tyson Fury.
Wilder was furious at Breland’s decision to throw in the towel and the former Olympic gold medallist was axed in the aftermath.
For Whyte, who insists he would stop Wilder quicker than Fury did, the disrespect shown towards the legendary Breland can never be undone.
‘I don’t know what is left to say about Deontay Wilder,’ Whyte said, according to the Sun.
‘I was so disappointed with how he treated Mark Breland, he is the only man in his corner that knows boxing.
‘His team are all yes-men but Breland was the only one acting in a professional and compassionate manner.
‘He should be getting a medal from Wilder, not belittled the way he has been, it is very disrespectful. Just on that basis I will never have any respect for Deontay Wilder again.’
