“I will be the first boxing boxing to achieve that and with the current career stage, I can do this.”
Dillian Whyte added: “As a temporary heavy champion, will win the UFC absolute heavy championship, I am sure to achieve that.”

“I love Francis nunnou. We almost had a press conference between Dillian Whyte and him, but UFC asked to cancel after we recorded it.
“However, we had a scene. I really wanted to see a nunnou and Dillian Whyte had 2 matches. One of the cages and one cage.
On the side of the nunnou, besides the boxing he is also targeting the match against Jon Jones. However, at the present time, there is still nothing to be sure.
