Whyte Wanted To Smash Allen's Face In, Not Happy Over Sexton

By Edward Chaykovsky

Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is very upset with not receiving the opportunity to face David Allen for the British title. Instead the British Boxing Board of Control has ordered him to face Sam Sexton.

Whyte (16-1, 13KOs) will return to the ring on June 25th as part of the Anthony Joshua vs. Dominic Breazeale undercard at the O2 Arena in London.

This will be Whyte's first fight since getting knocked out by Joshua last December in a very exciting fight. He injured his shoulder in the contest and was forced to undergo shoulder surgery which kept him out of the ring.

The BBBoC seemed poised to order Whyte to face Allen (9-0-1, 6KOs) and there is a lot of bad blood between the two, but last Thursday they threw a curve ball when Sexton (22-3, 8KOs) was thrown in the mix.

Whyte told Sky Sports: "The board have messed up the British title thing a bit and I'm not going to be fighting Dave Allen now. It's a massive disappointment because I was looking forward to bashing the cr*p out of Dave Allen. He's not really funny - he's just deluded. It's a disgrace calling himself 'The White Rhino'. He's not a rhino.

"Sam Sexton is alright. I've known him for a while and I've seen him get knocked out in training camp a few times. I've seen him getting beaten up by Dereck Chisora, David Price and other British guys. He's better than Dave Allen in that he's been a Commonwealth champion. Allen was ready to step up and fight because he's young, ambitious and would have come to fight.

"We'll see (if I defend the title against Allen) because I will fight anybody and I was really looking forward to smashing his face in. He didn't get under my skin but some people have no manners and you need to show them."
