Dillian Whyte has directed a passionate verbal challenge at WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder after his explosive knockout win over Lucas Browne at The O2. According To Sky Sports, the Brixton Man Landed A Huge Left Hook That Sent Browne Crashing To The Canvas In The Sixth Round And Victory Preserved His Status As The Wbc's No 1 Ranked Contender.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Whyte said he now fully deserves the opportunity to test himself at the top level and urged Wilder to agree a title defence in London this summer.
"Listen, Deontay Wilder, where you at? Where you at Wilder, let's go, let's go, let's go. I'm ready, let's get it. Deontay, let's go, no more excuses. Forget Joshua, Joshua's not going to be ready in time. Let's do this. June, live at The O2, let's get it. I'm No 1 baby. Let's go, let's go.
I proved to everyone, I'm world class. A lot of people were writing me off. A lot of people were giving Lucas Browne the edge. I've been up in Loughborough working hard, training in some garage, in the cold with no heating, and it paid off. I'm a good fighter, but no one has seen it yet. When the challenge is there, that's when I rise. Lucas Browne thought his power was incredible. I might not have 22 knockouts, but I can crack.
A lot of people say this and say that, but when they stand in front of me, different story. The O2 is my home, let's bring more fights here. Let's get it. I'm laying all of these guys out, one by one. The WBC are good people, they're loyal people, and they seem to stick to their word, and they want the fight with Deontay.
\They are just tired of Deontay Wilder fighting these half-rate guys. Joshua isn't fighting him next, his next fight is me. If he fights someone else, I'm going to go to America and kick-off."
Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn, Whyte's Promoter has expressed optimism that he would now be installed as the mandatory challenger for Wilder.
