Next Saturday, April 23, Dillian Whyte will battle the ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury at Wembley Stadium.
It’s a bout where Fury will defend his two current championships and as he put himself the fight has ‘no hype needed’.
So, to get into the mood for the monumental clash, let’s look at Whyte’s most vicious knockouts and knockdowns from the Sky Sports Boxing YouTube channel.
Dillian Whyte vs Zurab Noniahvili
The first entry comes from the fight between Whyte and Zurab Noniahvili. With 2:21 left in the very first round, Whyte landed a stiff right hook to the body after two fast left jabs.
This made his Georgian opponent fall to his knees and this is where the fight gets controversial. Whyte followed up his gained momentum by swinging an uppercut across the face while Zurab had his knee on the floor.
The commentator said Whyte was fortunate but finished the job regardless with a brutal blow.

Dillian Whyte vs Ivica Bacurin
The second clip shows Whyte battling Ivica Bacurin from 2016. The fight happened in June and Dillian was making his first appearance since undergoing shoulder surgery the December before.
The drama happens in round six when Whyte applies some serious pressure. He lands a quick left and right followed by a uppercut which sends the opponent on the back foot.
Bacurin finds himself against the ropes unable to dodge some powerful blows which eventually sends him sliding down the ropes to being seated on the canvas.

Dillian Whyte vs Lucas Browne
The middle of the video features Whyte vs Lucas Browne. It’s immediately visible just how much of an effect Whyte has already had by the time the clip starts.
Browne takes some heavy shots as round six progresses and it’s clear dominance from Whyte. Each shot took a toll and eventually Dillian hit an insane combination ending in a left hook which sent Browne immediately to the floor.
A sublime knockout.
Dillian Whyte vs Joseph Parker
Penultimately, we see his bout with Joseph Parker. The clip doesn’t show a lot of action to begin with, perhaps through fatigue, but the fighters seem to have hit a stalemate.
There are a few punches thrown but Parker is the first one to look for an opening. This leads to gaps for Whyte to exploit with two clean strikes with very little protest and defence from his opponent.
From there the pace suddenly increases where a fast shot sends Parker down.

Dillian Whyte vs Derek Chisora
The final knockout comes from Whyte’s clash with Derek Chisora. It happens in the eleventh round in a very back and forth contest.
The momentum was swinging and both fighters got decent punches in before, seemingly out of nowhere, Chisora fell to the mat.
It was pure dynamite from Whyte with a truly vicious blow with his powerful left hook.
Fury is obviously going to come into the fight with a lot of confidence after winning his famous trilogy with Deontay Wilder but as we’ve seen, Whyte is not to be taken lightly.
Dillian comes into Wembley Stadium as the underdog but he’s more than capable of springing a surprise on the ‘Gypsy King’.
