Dillian Whyte revealed this week that he fought with a broken foot sustained during training camp ahead of his encounter against Itauma on August 16, 2025.

"It felt like someone had dropped a dumbbell on my foot," Whyte told Sky Sports.

"It was terrible, but we're used to pulling off miracles. We're used to fighting injured. I made the best of the situation and had a decent camp. I felt good during fight week and really thought I would beat Moses."

Adding insult to injury, Whyte (31-4, 21 KOs) aggravated the ailment right before the fight.

"I started warming up, jumped a little bit of rope, and then reinjured the foot – completely fractured it again," Whyte said. "We had to call the doctor who was with me to examine it. He advised me not to fight, and I said 'no.' There's no way I'm going to come all the way to Saudi Arabia and not fight at the last minute.

"I was confident that I would still be able to drag Moses into the later rounds and stop him as [Filip] Hrgovic recently did."

Whyte preferred not to reveal the details of his faulty foot in the immediate aftermath out of respect, despite dealing with the debilitating injury.

"I didn't want to mention it, go into it, and take away from his win, because he done alright. I got clocked, and he won the fight," Whyte said. "I didn't want to go on too much about it, and I think people got carried away with the fact that I got beat in a round by Moses. I don't think people would draw the same conclusions if they had the full facts.

"People have short memories, and they like to say 'retire because of this, retire because of that,' but what they don't realize is we're members of a rare generation of entertaining British heavyweight boxers that are coming to the end of our careers."

Whyte emphasized that he's healthy again and ready to return to the ring. He's now vowing to blast Johnny Fisher, if a bout can be made against "The Romford Bull."

Whyte is especially confident after Fisher (15-1, 12 KOs) mustered a 10-round majority decision win against Michael Pirotton on Saturday at Copper Box Arena in London to headline Zuffa Boxing 11.

"Fisher has been calling me out for a while. He wants to fight me. I'm well up for that fight," Whyte said.

"I knock Fisher out. It's heavyweight boxing; anything can happen. I could get caught high on the head like I did last time out, but I'll knock Fisher out. I'll be surprised if it goes past three or four rounds. I'm an aging dog, but I still have all of my teeth.

"Fisher is a bit erratic, and he's open in lots of areas, but he's dangerous. He's swinging big punches, a big man, and he hits hard, so yeah, I think it would be an exciting fight while it lasts."

Whyte's manager Michael Ofo separately revealed the Fisher fight was agreed to in principle with a handshake with Fisher's manager, Adam Morallee.

Whyte certainly has the credentials to give Fisher a serious fight. Just how much he still has left in the tank at 38, however, remains to be seen.

Whyte has been previously stopped by Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin and avenged his loss to Povetkin. He's also beaten the likes of Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora, David Allen, Robert Helenius, Oscar Rivas, Lucas Browne and Jermaine Franklin Jr. throughout his 15-year career.

"I've fought the best of my generation," Whyte said. "The reason this fight [against Fisher] attracts me is because it's dangerous. My last fight lasted a round, so people could be thinking I'm washed up and finished now, so let them run with that.

"I don't mind being a stepping stone because you need a stepping stone to step somewhere else. Let's go. They want to fight me. I was at home relaxing; they offered me out, so let's get it on.

"I love boxing, and I'll fight anyone. Be grateful that you have guys like me around because when we're gone, there will be a long drought in the heavyweight division."
