Dillian Whyte Gets TKO Win in Two in Ring Return

By Terence Dooley

Brixton's Dillian Whyte registered a second-round TKO win over Ante Veruncia at London's Camden Centre last night to get himself back into the British heavyweight mix following two-years out due to a doping ban.

Whyte moved to 10-0 (7) on the Mickey Helliet-promoted bill; the promoter also revealed that the 26-year-old will fight again next week as he seeks to make up for lost time and ground.  Whyte's UKAD in-competition ban expired last month; he quickly set up a fight date thanks to Helliet and the decision has paid off.

Veruncia, 3-2-1 (1), was never going to upset the apple-cart; the purpose of last night's outing was to get Whyte back into the ring and he duly dispatched the 24-year-old Croatian, who hails from the beautiful coastal city of Zadar.

The come backing Londoner will now seek to shed more rust with next week's outing before aiming to move into British title contention at some point in 2015.
